The Mountain (1872)

The Mountain is a historical novel written by French author Jules Michelet and first published in 1872. The story is set during the French Revolution and follows the life of a young man named Bernard who is caught up in the political turmoil of the time. Bernard is a member of the Jacobin Club, a group of radical revolutionaries who seek to overthrow the monarchy and establish a republic. As the revolution intensifies, Bernard becomes increasingly involved in the struggle and eventually finds himself at the center of a violent and dangerous conflict. Along the way, he meets a number of historical figures, including Maximilien Robespierre and Georges Danton, and witnesses firsthand the events that led to the Reign of Terror. The Mountain is a gripping and vividly written account of one of the most tumultuous periods in French history, and a powerful exploration of the human cost of revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
