Abstract
With 25 and 30 years of distance after the publication of The Persistence of the
Old Regime – Europe to the Great War, by Arno Mayer, and Peasants into Frenchmen, by
Eugene Weber, the author makes a review over these books’ topics, as well as the context and
frame of their birth. Time distance allows analysing quietly the complex issues concerned to
the break and continuity of old regime in the, so called, Modern History. These were in last
decades, object of comments and questions with a very personal, political or even academical
accent. Nowadays this issue shows more accurately than before, but whithout bitter controversies,
the numerous links and continuities at both sides of 1789.
