Este libro de Eric Hobsbawm aborda la recepción e interpretación de la Revolución Francesa en la historiografía. Hobsbawm argumenta que quienes juzgan los eventos de 1789 separándolos de los siglos de historia dominados por los ecos de la Marsellesa no comprenden la transformación irreversible que la Revolución trajo al mundo, al dar a los pueblos la convicción de que podían cambiar la historia por sí mismos. Además, destaca la importancia de preservar los valores reivindicados por los revolucionarios, como la razón y la Ilustración, ante el irracionalismo y el fanatismo.

Eric John Ernest Hobsbawm was a British historian of the rise of industrial capitalism, socialism and nationalism. His best-known works include his tetralogy about what he called the "long 19th century" and the "short 20th century", and an edited volume that introduced the influential idea of "invented traditions". He was a life-long Marxist, and his socio-political convictions influenced the character of his work.
