«A la sombra de la guillotina» is the historical essay by Fernando Díaz-Plaja, published by Planeta in paperback (190 pages, in Spanish).
The author studies the most tragic years of the French Revolution, when the guillotine ruled France. Against the luminous face of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, he shows the bloody face of the process: terror, blood and violence at the origin of contemporary Europe.
Published in 1988, it belongs to the 'Memoria de la Historia' collection and includes an index and illustrated plates.
For readers interested in the French Revolution, the Terror and the symbolism of the guillotine in European history.
Spanish writer and historian (1918-2012)
