# A Place of Greater Safety: An epic work of historical fiction about the French Revolution, from the Booker Prize-winning and

Hilary Mantel’s A Place of Greater Safety series is a biographical and political historical fiction epic, rooted in the volatile landscape of the French Revolution. This literary classic, spanning categories of European history, modern political science, and revolutions of independence, follows three ambitious young provincials as they reshape a nation. Georges-Jacques Danton brings zealous energy and financial desperation to the cause, while Maximilien Robespierre’s scrupulous diligence masks a deep fear of violence.

Camille Desmoulins, a charming and erratic rhetorical genius, completes the trio of revolutionaries. As they taste the addictive allure of power, the noble ideals of liberty and fraternity curdle into suspicion and brutality. The series traces their intertwined paths through the Committee of Public Safety and the descent into the Terror, capturing the personal and political horror that engulfs them all.
