Les dernières heures du Premier Imprimeur de la Liberté Nationale
As Momoro, a French revolutionary who likes to call himself the First Printer of National Liberty, is about to die, he thinks about the actions he did for the revolution, his life with Sophie. Momoro's life guillotined as a member of the exaggerated revolutionaries, alongside Hébert, Ronsin, Vincent and others according to my interpretation with the information I have that I sometimes mix with fiction. Warning: Although the black legend of the French Revolution is too often present The French Revolution and their historical figures do not belong to me any more than history but this story does . Let's not forget that there were executions and misdeeds on the part of the revolutionaries (although the violence on the other side was also ignored) there is also the death of Jacques Roux that I quickly mention as a suicide as he actually did. So sensitive souls move on.Complete
