"If we wish to know the innermost thought and passion of the French
peasant, it is very easy. Walk, any Sunday, into the country and
follow him." So begins this extraordinary book by the man often
called France's greatest historian. After its publication in 1846,
Le peuple sold 1,000 copies in a single day in Paris alone, and was
soon considered the classic study of French society in the early
nineteenth century. John P. McKay's translation makes the book
newly available to English-language readers. The People is a moving
picture of France on the eve of 1848. Michelet saw tensions,
divisions, and hatreds tearing France apart, and he sought to
provide a new faith that would unite the conflicting groups in the
love of country. This book, Michelet wrote, "is the product of my
experience rather than of my studies. I have derived it from my
observation and my conversations with friends and neighbors."
Because of Michelet's countless discussions with people from all
ranks of society and his precise observations, his portrait of
France is unsurpassed, and representative of general European
problems in a time of rapid social and economic change.
