Description

This volume brings together a series of speeches delivered by a young deputy from the Pas‑de‑Calais during the turbulent first years of the French Revolution. Presented in a clear, modern French translation, the talks capture the fervent debates that shaped the new Republic’s early legislative agenda. Listeners will hear the orator’s forceful arguments as he confronts the Assembly on matters of law, liberty, and national destiny.

The speeches cover a wide range of subjects—reforming the jury system to safeguard impartial justice, defending press freedom, questioning the re‑election of legislators, and confronting the morality of the death penalty. He also tackles the crisis of the fleeing king, the concept of royal inviolability, and the looming threat of war, each topic revealing his evolving vision of a just society. The language is direct yet rhetorical, offering a vivid portrait of revolutionary rhetoric in action.

Designed for an audio audience, the collection lets listeners step into the heated assemblies of 1791‑1792, hearing the arguments that foreshadowed later upheavals. It provides an accessible glimpse into the political philosophy that would later dominate the Revolution, making history feel immediate and compelling.
