ERRATUM #1: At 13:44, this is not the correct Collot. The image shows Collot d’Herbois, a member of the Committee of Public Safety, whereas we are referring to Jean-Pierre Collot, the financier of the coup of 18 Brumaire.
ERRATUM #2: At 1:12:12, this is not the correct Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte. The image shows, not Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, known as Napoleon III, nephew of his uncle, but the son of Napoleon III, himself named Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, great-nephew of his uncle and son of his father (almost his clone).
"The story that unfolds is first and foremost the story of the bourgeoisie's rise to unlimited power, masked by the crudest national myth: the myth of the great man. The providential man who would serve France's grandeur by sending millions of poor children to their deaths. A cheap Caesar, found in a lucky dip. A tourist attraction.
But this story is twofold. Even threefold. Because this story is also, as Babeuf so simply put it, the story of the war of the rich against the poor. And therefore, the story of insurrections and uprisings, of conspiracies for equality.
And it is the story of a free spirituality, born from the end of the metaphysical hegemony of institutional Christianity. It is the story of revolutionary spirituality, whose first prophets will be those poets who, liberated from the obligatory forms of worship, will rediscover the spirit of the Kingless.
It is not only Louis XVI who did not die. It is Robespierre." This is Saint-Just. This is Couthon. Your names will not be forgotten anytime soon. And your dream, which was also Jean-Jacques Rousseau's, will not be considered obsolete.

A chaque fois, c'est un pur bonheur : découvrir les faces cachées, plonger dans le sordide de César et toujours toujours sortir enflammée par la Poésie, par l'espoir, par tout ce qui semble possible !!
Hâte du prochain. En attendant je vais savourer le livre de la saison 2 ;)
Merci Pacôme Thiellement !
Bien joué a toutes l'équipe.
