This app is based on R.A. Davenport's 1838 work, which explores the history and legacy of the Bastille.

The work examines the origins, structure, and reputation of the Bastille, which became a symbol of French tyranny. What began as a fortress eventually became a state prison, synonymous with arbitrary power and oppression.

Contents and interesting facts:

The construction of the Bastille: towers, dungeons and the layout of the prison

The daily life of prisoners: strict restrictions, cruel treatment, secrecy

The royal imprisonment decrees (“lettres de cachet”) as a means of abuse of power

Depiction of the psychological torments that befell the prisoners of the Bastille

The author's work not only evokes the gloomy past, but also encourages us to appreciate the ideas of justice, freedom and good governance.
