Sobre este artículo
New York: Vintage Books, 1985. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5x0x8. First printing. Spine head bumped. 1985 Trade Paperback. xiii, 298 pp. When the apprentices of a Paris printing shop in the 1730's held a series of mock trials and then hanged all the cats they could lay their hands on, why did they find it so hilariously funny that they choked with laughter when they reenacted it in pantomime some twenty times' Why in the 18th century version of "Little Red Riding Hood" did the wolf eat the child at the end' What did the anonymous townsman of Montpelier have in mind when he kept an exhaustive dossier on all the activities of his native city' These are some of the provocative questions Robert Darnton attempts to answer in this dazzling series of essays that probe the ways of thought in what we like to call "The Age of Enlightenment.
