England, 1609. Sir Robert's servants live at Hylton Castle in constant fear of his violent temper. They suffer whilst Sir Robert lives in luxury. But when Sir Robert's anger goes one step too far, the

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting. But every now and again, a new group actually manages to seize power, and it changes history.Few enjoy the success of Ivaylo, the Bulgarian swineherd who managed to fight off the Mongols, slay the Tsar and marry his widow in the space of a year. But then, some rebels have more modest aims: Spartacus mainly wanted to go home to see his mum. Either way, we have much to learn from the tactics of revolutionaries gone by, like the two suffragists who posted themselves by Royal Mail to see the prime minister. (A first-class idea, though Downing Street declined the parcel.)From the peasants to the slaves, the martyrs to the mutineers, Revolting celebrates the resilience and determination of those who dared to challenge the status quo.

歷史總是由勝利者寫的？那叛亂者的故事誰來說？別再相信課本裡那套「和平漸進」說法了！在 Revolting 中，Terry Deary 將帶你見識歷史上那些「不想再忍」的人們——從推翻沙皇的豬倌、為選票奮戰的 suffragists，到每一位不甘於被統治的平民百姓。這些人有的成功、有的失敗，但他們都有一樣東西：膽識。還有，一點點瘋狂。本書延續 Horrible Histories 系列風格，以幽默筆調講述嚴肅主題，適合歷史迷！Remember, remember the 4th of November... *It is a truth universally acknowledged that the rich and powerful always look after their own and the working people are always revolting.
