History smells of rebellion—of the fight for justice and human dignity. It’s 14 July 1789. The Bastille falls, and with it, the tyrants who ruled within. The people rise. The French Revolution begins. That grim fortress—symbol of absolute power, suffering, and exploitation—collapses like a house of cards. It’s the will of the people. And when the people decide, nothing can stop them.
Just a month later, in August 1789, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is adopted. A milestone. A revolutionary step for all of humanity.
Nikolas Angelidis turns back the pages of history, digging into the brutal realities of the time—when people lived like animals under oppression. This is a deeply researched tribute to the conditions that sparked one of the most stirring and transformative uprisings the world has ever known.
