| Summary | "La Bastille (1370-1789) Histoire, Description, Attaque et Prise" by Auguste Coeuret is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the history and significance of the Bastille fortress, detailing its evolution from a fortified gate into a notorious state prison. It likely includes themes of political imprisonment, the struggle for freedoms, and the eventual storming of the Bastille, symbolizing the uprising of the people against tyranny. The opening of the text provides an introduction to the Bastille's origins, describing its construction as a fortified gate during the reign of King Charles V and its transformation into a prison under the leadership of various governors. It highlights the initial military purpose of the Bastille and its gradual shift toward a reputation as a feared prison, where letters of cachet could imprison individuals without trial. Coeuret sets the stage for a narrative that not only traces the architectural and operational intricacies of the Bastille but also introduces significant historical figures associated with the fortress, hinting at the broader socio-political context leading to the French Revolution.
