Francouzská revoluce - Sieyes. Ten, který všechny přežil

Audiokniha FRANCOUZSKÁ REVOLUCE – SIEYES. TEN, KTERÝ VŠECHNY PŘEŽIL, kterou napsal Vladimír Vokál. Přežít. Nehrdinské slovo, které však jedinečně vystihuje jednoho z nejvýznamnějších vůdců Francouzské revoluce. Tichošlápek, krtek, chytrý havran, mrchožrout. I tak říkali ústavnímu teoretikovi, bez kterého by možná nepadla Bastila. Jeho proslulý pamflet “Co je třetí stav?” zformoval počátky revoluční ideologie.
