Description
A brilliant new translation of a classic work on violence and revolution as seen through mythology and art, The Ruin of Kasch offers a unique perspective on the French statesman Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand and the secrets of the ancien régime. Through a vast gallery of scenes set immediately before and after the French Revolution, the book explores the notion of "legitimacy" and its adaptation to the modern age. With appearances by influential figures from art and history, this book is a thought-provoking guide to understanding our entire civilization in a new light.
