Journal of what happened at the Temple / Last Hours of Louis XVI by Father Edgeworth Firmont / write memory by Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte de France (Paperback)
The memories if they sometimes have a weakness style, always a moving vivacity. The three papers in this edition are the precious testimony of a failover that we live in the present, alongside the authors. Cold reality, to which the humanity of the protagonists gives a force that no historian thesis can afford to give, or denature. We excuse the introduction, icy, which seeks only to minimize the importance of the facts. It also brings nothing to the texts and we might as well do without it! For cons, the many notes are very helpful, providing a revolutionary perspective with which to compare the witnesses' stories.
