Publié en 1875, ce recueil de Charles Monselet réunit des histoires d’amour et de galanterie où s’esquissent, en courts tableaux, les mœurs d’un temps révolu.

Un voyage dans l’esprit d’hier, pour goûter la grâce légère et l’acuité d’un observateur complice.

Qui est Arsène Lupin, sinon l’élégance faite audace ? Dans ce cycle fondateur, un cambrioleur au charme insolent joue avec les lois comme avec les cœurs, dérobant autant les bijoux que les certitudes.

Essai historique et philosophique, ce livre prend la Révolution française pour terrain d’étude et ouvre une réflexion sur la psychologie des révolutions. Avec une analyse lucide et méthodique, Gustave Le Bon interroge les mécanismes qui entraînent les bouleversements: comment naissent les élans, comment se propagent les idées, comment les sociétés changent de cap. Au-delà des faits, il explore ce qui se joue dans l’esprit collectif et au cœur des crises. Une écoute stimulante pour comprendre l’allure des grands retournements et la logique qui les porte.
