"Carnival in Romans" by Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie is a historical account of a violent and chaotic carnival that took place in the French town of Romans in 1579-1580. The book delves deep into the socio-economic and religious tensions of the time, which culminated in a brutal massacre during the carnival. The author uses a variety of sources, including legal documents, personal letters, and diaries, to reconstruct the events and provide a detailed analysis. The book is not just a narrative of the carnival, but also a study of the social and cultural life of the 16th-century provincial France. Le Roy Ladurie's meticulous research and engaging storytelling make this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in French history.
