This translation of an undisputed classic aims to be both accurate and readable. Tocqueville's subtlety of style and profundity of thought offer a challenge to readers as well as to translators. As both a Tocqueville scholar and an award-winning translator, Arthur Goldhammer is uniquely qualified for the task. In his Introduction, Jon Elster draws on his recent work to lay out the structure of Tocqueville' argument. Readers will appreciate The Ancien Régime and the French Revolution for its sense of irony as well as tragedy, for its deep insights into political psychology and for its impassioned defense of liberty.

De achttiende eeuw was een eeuw van grondige verandering. Alles wat voordien onwrikbaar leek, kwam op de helling te staan: de macht van de Kerk en de adel, het absolutisme van de heersers, de rechteloosheid van het volk.De Amerikaanse grondwet trad in werking en had mondiaal een grote invloed op begrippen als democratie en burgerrechten. De Franse revolutie wierp de alleenheerschappij van de monarch omver. De eerste versie van de Universele Verklaring van de Rechten van de Mens en de Burger kwam tot stand. Verlichte ideeën rond vrijheid en gelijkheid werden rondgestrooid.In onze streken was er de Brabantse Omwenteling, maar die mislukte – België moest nog een hele tijd wachten tot ook hier de verlichte waarden naar voren traden.Dit alles kwam er niet zonder slag of stoot. Want terwijl revolutionairen en avonturiers stormden, boden puriteinen, slavenhandelaars en machtshebbers weerstand.Francis Weyns beschrijft dit historische keerpunt in al zijn internationale aspecten, inbegrepen sterke verhalen.

Rarement Journal fut aussi riche que celui tenu par Wilhelm von Wolzogen pendant ses séjours à Paris entre 1788 et 1793. Le beau-frère du grand Schiller, arrivé chez nous comme modeste voyageur et « stagiaire » en architecture, plus tard chargé d’affaires du duc de Wurtemberg, montre dans ses carnets une curiosité multiple et inlassable. « Tout y sera pêle-mêle », avoue-t-il, « mais au moins rien ne se perdra ». Si pareil foisonnement imposait quelques coupures, la présente version française n’en conserve pas moins l’intégralité du Journal politique de 1793 et de la Correspondance diplomatique. Il aura fallu attendre le bicentenaire de la Révolution en 1989 pour que cette masse d’informations qui dormaient dans des archives familiales soit enfin révélée au public allemand pour la période de 1788 à 1789. Le public français, quant à lui, disposera donc d’une traduction élargie qui couvre la période allant de 1788 à 1793 (y compris la précieuse correspondance diplomatique publiée en dossier annexe). Les propos souvent gallophobes et les convictions anti-révolutionnaires du baron de Wolzogen, loin d’atténuer la portée de son témoignage, ne lui prêtent que plus de vigueur. L’ensemble constitue un document historique et humain de premier ordre, désormais incontournable pour la connaissance de cette époque.

Throughout the nineteenth century, international relations in Europe were dominated by five great powers - Britain, France, Russia, Austria and Prussia. The creation of this system has been located traditionally in the long struggle with revolutionary and Napoleonic France. By contrast, this study demonstrates that its origins lie half a century earlier. During the third quarter of the eighteenth century, the European states-system was transformed by the military rise of Russia and Prussia in the Seven Years War of 1756-63. Eastern Europe became pre-eminent, and during the 1770s Poland was partitioned for the first time, while Russia and Austria also seized territory from the Ottoman empire. Europe's centre of gravity moved sharply eastwards, and by the later 1770s Russia was emerging as the leading continental power. This study, based upon manuscript and printed sources from six countries, provides a comprehensive analysis of these crucial events.

La 4e de couverture indique :"Après la Révolution française, l'idée d'encyclopédie prend une extension considérable. Jusqu'au Printemps des peuples de 1848, elle est indissociable de l'idée de république universelle, et se trouve au coeur d'une multiplicité d'enjeux pour la reconstruction institutionnelle, intellectuelle et politique de la société postrévolutionnaire. C'est à la singularité de ce moment (1789-1848) dans l'histoire longue de l'encyclopédisme que sont consacrées les différentes contributions de ce volume. Loin de se limiter à un moment de l'histoire des sciences, l'encyclopédisme nous révèle la manière dont les sociétés modernes se représentent elles-mêmes et s'instituent politiquement."
