For those who read French and for those who don't


http://www.humanite.fr/+-Revolution-francaise-220-ans-apres

The heritage is still alive. Articles on revolutionaries and other people somehow related to the French revolution, including Marat, Brissot, Hérault de Séchelles, Roux, Couthon, Saint-Just,  Hébert, Prieur, Choderlos de Laclos, Sade, Toussaint Louverture (the leader of Haitian revolution and anti-slavery movement, the so-called black jacobin), David, Olympe de Gouges and many others. 

Our fellow-revolutionary Estellacat has kindly volunteered to translate any of these articles to English for those who can't read French. Just express your wish in a comment and she will do it for us.

And for those who can't read French...

I volunteer to translate any articles that any of you find particularly interesting (though not all of them--unfortunately, I don't have the time for that).

Couldn't resist reading the one about Sade. It is interesting to think about how absolutely shocking his atheism must have been back then.

Looks interesting. When I'm not being incredibly lazy, I will have to read them.
