Description
The Cannons of Montmartre is a historical short story inspired by real events from the life of Louise Michel and the uprising that became the Paris Commune of 1871.
Set in the working-class neighborhood of Montmartre, the story centers on a pivotal morning when the people of Paris - led in large part by women - stood between the army and the cannons meant to suppress them. Through vivid scenes and intimate storytelling, the narrative explores how acts of resistance are born not only from ideology, but from community, care, and moral clarity.
This story is part of a five-story series based on Louise Michel’s life, written for modern readers. It brings history to life through character, emotion, and atmosphere, making complex political moments accessible without losing their depth.
Ideal for readers interested in:
- Radical history and social justice
- Women in revolutionary movements
- Short literary fiction inspired by real events
- Louise Michel and the Paris Commune
The Cannons of Montmartre invites readers to witness the moment when resistance became collective - and when history turned on the courage of those who refused to step aside.
How This Pre-Order Works
The Cannons of Montmartre is a fully self-published book, created independently from start to finish. That means there’s no big publisher behind it - just a lot of care, creativity, and a very practical printing reality.
To produce the hardback edition, the printer requires a minimum print run. Each pre-order brings us one step closer to reaching that number. When you place a pre-order, you’re not just reserving a copy - you’re actively helping make the book possible.
Once we reach the minimum number of pre-orders, the books will be printed as a batch. As soon as the books are ready, you will be contacted to arrange payment for shipping to your chosen location, and your copy will then be carefully packed and mailed directly to you.
And if we don’t reach the target? No problem. If the minimum isn’t met, the book won’t go to print and you’ll receive a full refund, no questions asked.
Pre-ordering is a simple way to support an independent project, help bring a new book into the world, and make sure you’re among the first to receive it. Thank you for being part of the journey - from idea, to page, to finished book in your hands.
