GEO Epoche KOLLEKTION / GEO Epoche KOLLEKTION 21/2020 Napoleon und die französische Revolution

On July 14, 1789, when an armed crowd storms the Bastille in Paris and conquers the dark, castle-like state prison, it marks the beginning of what is likely the most consequential political and social upheaval of modern times: the French Revolution. Amidst the turmoil of the revolution, an egomaniacal general rises in France, who, just ten years after the fall of the old king, proclaims himself emperor in 1804. GEO EPOCHE KOLLEKTION reconstructs the history of a quarter-century that has shaped France, Europe, and the modern world like few others.
