Hello

[pevampire.livejournal.com]

I've been watching this community for about three weeks or so
I recently became interested in french revolutionaries (particularly Robespierre >_<)
but since I don't live in the states .. I can't get useful books on french revolution
It's so sad......I have to wait for like six weeks for my books ( i had to make special order T T)

Unfortunately, I don't have anything to show you except badly drawn picture

I never knew Robespierre was so humane before doing some research (you know what textbooks say)
although my friend says "[i] only like Robespierre because he's as evil as [I am]" -_-;;; 

ps. I tried photobucket hopefully it shows. hopefully........

Welcome!

Unfortunally, it seems you didn't upload the picture right, if you need a place to do it, photobucket.com is really good for that

Hi! If you haven't found them already, there are some speeches/books online. This is a link (I hope it comes out OK in this post) to a site with extracts from several speeches by Robespierre and other revolutionaries and the philosophers who influenced them, in English translations, which you may find useful. http://www.marxists.org/reference/index.htm . I think it has the whole of Rousseau's 'Social Contact' up there! Click on the names and it will bring up a menu with a list of works. There are also some books online with Google books by 19th century historians - though a lot of them are quite hostile to the revolution - and parts of other books - if I can find the links again I'll post them up here.

thanks ^^ it's so nice to see speeches in English translations ;_; .. I should learn more languages...

I'm new here too. And I don't live in the USA either. (I'm hungarian).
I can suggest library and internet. If you put Robespierre or other revolutionaires's names to google, you can find very good sites. Or look around in this community:)
I don't know french revolution books were translated to Korean...but in Hungary there are some good books too. I don't use to often find useful book in hungarian also....

i'm okay with english thank God...
I use google often except when i get to like page 10 the sites are not in english anymore T T
i tried library except korean national library doesn't really have much on revolution and the ones that are there are unfortunately, mostly in french
hopefully my books will arrive soon.....

But there are some French Revolution things you can read specifically in Korean!

Are you familiar with the Korean manga "Thermidor" by Hyerin Kim? The author's website is here (http://kimhyerin.com/), you can check it out.

i don't have the book but i have scanned file of it (the book was published before i was born...very rare...) and i'm reading it now.

but i wonder, why does Robespierre look so um...old in many pop culture....like in Berubara, he looks like he's like in mid 40s or something...but he's supposed to be about the same age as Lady Oscar...oh and Saint-Just, he's supposed to be about ten years younger than Lady Oscar and he......omg...just because he was involved in reign of terror doesn't mean he was a "terrorist." T T

Have you seen the movie "Danton"? He looks like he's in his 50s there.
