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 to the comm! :)

Unfortunately, for some reason your picture isn't showing up for me. o.o;

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.

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....
