Description
The Forbidden Best-Sellers of Pre-Revolutionary FranceFrench literature of the eighteenth century means to us today Rousseau and Voltaire and the "classic" texts that, we imagine, gave rise to the Revolution. Yet very few of the standard works of the Enlightenment were as widely read as books whose names we have never heard, books that were the currency of a huge literary underground during the reign of Louis XVI. Included in this volume are Darnton's translations of excerpts from three of these works.
French literature of the eighteenth century means to us today Rousseau and Voltaire and the "classic" texts that, we imagine, gave rise to the Revolution. Yet very few of the standard works of the Enlightenment were as widely read as books whose names we have never heard, books that were the currency of a huge literary underground during the reign of Louis XVI. Included in this volume are Darnton's translations of excerpts from three of these works.
After twenty-five years of research, Darnton has summarized his findings in one brilliant work that examines the reciprocal relationship between private literature and the public world, the (illegal) spread of Enlightenment thought, and the interesting possibility that the writings of some not-so-famous authors contributed to the fall of the French aristocracy.

Good durability
Style: 10-in-1【1 HDMI+1 VGA】
I had the 8 in 1, but realized I needed one more usb hub for my current setup when using dual screens, scanner, printer, and drives, this seems to do well, is a bit heavier than the previous model as expected. Good material and easy to unmount quickly from the computer. Works with usb c connections so perfect for my Surface Pro 9.

One for work, one for home. Nice to have just one cable connection. All other peripherals stay cabled.
