Overview
Jaques-Louis Menetra's 'Journal de ma vie' reads like a historian's dream come true...It conveys his understanding of what it meant to grow up in Paris, where he was born in 1738; to tramp around provincial shops on a journeyman's tour de France; to settle down as a Parisian master with a shop and family of his own; and to live through the great events of the Revolution as a militant in his local Section.Synopsis
