An extraordinary and brilliant work of historical imagination -- this is Mantel´s epic novel of the French Revolution. A spellbinding novel which recounts the events between the fall of the Ancient Regime and the peak of the Terror, as seen through the eyes of the French Revolution´s three protagonists -- Georges-Jacques Danton, Maximilien Robespierre and Camille Desmoulins, men whose mix of ambition, idealism, and ego helped unleash the darker side of the Revolution´s ideals and brought them eventually to their own tragic ends. Critically acclaimed upon first publication, ´A Place of Greater Safety´ is one of Mantel´s most celebrated works of fiction.
