我很高兴能在《读书》杂志上向中国读者介绍我所主编的一本近著《大革命时期的法国状况》(一九八八年巴黎发现出版社版)。我想指出这本书的特点:此书既不是一本新法国大革命史,也非一部百科全书式的著作,而是编写此书的九十五位历史学家向读者们发出的一个邀请:他们邀请读者们对一七八九至一七九九年的法国作一次新的访问,来了解一下当吋人们生活的各方面。这里的“人们”是复数的,既包括富人也包括穷人,既有村民又有市民,既指革命者也指反对革命者,从而是所有人的生活各方面。
I am very pleased to introduce to readers in China a book entitled “The French Situation during the Great Revolution” (1988 edition of Discovery Press, Paris), compiled by China. I would like to point out the characteristics of this book: This book is neither a new French Revolution nor an encyclopedic book, but an invitation from 95 historians who wrote this book to their readers : They invited the readers to make a new visit to France from 1789 to 1799 to learn about all aspects of life. The “people” here are plural, encompassing both the rich and the poor, both villagers and citizens. They mean both the revolutionaries and the revolutionaries and thus all aspects of life for all.
