Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers back to the infamous case of the Chevalier de la Barre, an 18th-century French nobleman wrongly accused and executed for sacrilege. The author delves into the historical context of the case, exploring the religious and political tensions that led to this miscarriage of justice. The book sheds light on the Chevalier's tragic fate, challenging the widely held but inaccurate belief that he was a martyr to free thought. Through a meticulous examination of primary sources, the author reveals the Chevalier's true character and the machinations of those who sought to make him a scapegoat. This gripping account not only presents a comprehensive history of the case but also provides valuable insights into the complexities of religious and social life in pre-Revolutionary France.
