Summary "Thermidor: d'après les sources originales et les documents authentiques" by Ernest Hamel is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores one of the most debated episodes of the French Revolution: the fall of Maximilien Robespierre, often seen through the lens of political intrigue and the consequences of revolutionary fervor. The opening of the text sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of Robespierre’s life and the circumstances surrounding his downfall. It begins with a preface that highlights the misconceptions regarding Robespierre as the embodiment of Terror and discusses how the narrative surrounding him has been shaped by political opponents. The author reflects on the critical events leading up to the coup d'état of 9 Thermidor, emphasizing the complexity of Robespierre's character and his efforts to steer the Revolution towards its original ideals of liberty and justice, even amidst the chaos of political factions. The beginning effectively establishes the groundwork for a nuanced reconsideration of Robespierre's actions and the historical context that influenced them.
