The religious issue is thus at the center of his history of the south and remains a valuable source for the history of the Waldensian and Albigensian heresies.

Histoire populaire de la Révolution française. 

Paris, Pagnerre, 1839-1840.
More Details >
Sold

First edition.
Etienne Cabet is a French political thinker who was the first, in 1840, to define himself as a “communist”.
His history of the French Revolution is conceived in opposition to the history given by Tiers, which Cabet considers a bourgeois view of the Revolution.
Cabet tells its story from the point of view of the People and for the People. He offers a version that could be described as Marxist before Marx.
The first half of the first volume is devoted to the History of the French until 1789, a work which is reminiscent, a hundred years in advance, of Howard Zinn and his Popular History of the United States.
