We found a bunch in the basement and—since the French
Revolutionary Calendar is the same every year, we decided
to offer these first editions for sale again. We gaurantee
it is the most unusual calendar you've ever seen. In 1792
the French revolutionaries had a better idea: an entirely
new calendar, free of unreason, superstition, and tyranny!
This is an authentic reproduction of that calendar, designed
during the revolution and in use for 13 years thereafter.
There are 12 equal months of thirty days, each divided into
three "weeks" of ten days each. (At last you'll be able
to get something done by the end of the week. . . before
your regular four-day weekend!) The FRC is perpetual, so
you won't have to buy a new one every year. And, best of
all, each year as an extra "intercalary" period of five
days at the end of the year to bring the total number of
days to 365. These are holidays from time. They have no
day names, so you don't have to account for them. There's
an introduction to explain the novel story of the FRC and
the history of calendars in general. And, yes, you'll find
a correlation to the Gregorian calendar—so you can keep
track of the rest of the world!
