The first Russian full scientifically commented translation of the best work of the "father of historical knowledge", "creator of French history", the brightest representative of romantic historiography Jules Michelet (1798-1874). Being the most famous historical and documentary fiction narrative about one of the most important events in the history of mankind, "History of the French Revolution" (1847-1853) - due to its grandiosity - has so far been out of the attention of domestic publishers. Well-documented, covering virtually all aspects of the revolutionary events in France 1789-1794 years, full of subtle observations, it is not only a historical, but also an outstanding literary work of the Romantic era. Under the pen of J. Michelet, considered one of the greatest French stylists of the XIX century, the history of France received an artistic embodiment, the equal of which is difficult to find in historiography. This narrative, based on archival sources, many of which were subsequently lost, and the testimonies of contemporaries, reads like a fascinating novel, and the power of the author created artistic images of characters and events is such that it influenced both the subsequent historiography of the French Revolution, and in general on French literature. "A poem about the French people" - this is the most capacious definition, which received the immortal work of J. Michelet. The edition is equipped with an extensive scientific (in depth and scope - encyclopedic) apparatus reflecting the current state of historiography and literary studies, including detailed articles, a detailed commentary, annotated name index and chronological tables. The six-volume book is richly illustrated: about 500 engravings from the lifetime editions of Michelet and his contemporaries are reproduced.
