The Musketeers and the Misérabless

"A fabulous encounter between the imaginative worlds of the outcasts of the French Revolution, the casualties of its broken promise to perfect humanity. One can never understand the nineteenth century if one fails to understand that it started with the Revolution, that it perpetuated a revolutionary dream, and sometimes even the nightmare. The outbreak of the Revolution had reconfigured the mental landscape, shook heaven and earth, and unhinged the individual. For it invented the people and fraternity with the night."
