Paul Lacroix - Directoire, Consulat et Empire, Mœurs et usages, lettres, sciences et arts - 1884

Captivating illustrated edition with 10 chromolithographs and 410 wood engravings of this vast historical panorama devoted to France between 1795 and 1815, a period marked by the end of the Revolution, the establishment of the Directory, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, the Consulate, and the creation of the Empire -

Far from limiting its study to political events and military campaigns, the author strives to reconstruct daily life, social habits, cultural transformations, and the major intellectual evolutions that characterize these decisive years -

The regime changes, new institutions, and the reorganization of society are thus placed back into their context, in order to show how political upheavals modified behaviors, social relations, and collective representations -
