Description
The studio “MediaKniga” releases an audio version of the novel by the celebrated French author Alexandre Dumas père, “The Secret Plot,” also known as “The Companions of Jehu” (French: “Les Compagnons de Jéhu”).
The text was narrated by the popular artist Mikhail Roslyakov.
" For a philosopher, a historian, a poet, the revolution offers a different reason for reflection than a thunderstorm. Revolutions are hurricanes in the air of society: they flood the land with blood, shatter destinies, and destroy entire generations. Heavenly storms, however, only ruin the harvest or a vineyard, and their misfortune lasts but one season. Often the following year makes up for the losses of the past—provided only that the Lord does not remain in the days of his wrath.
Earlier—out of forgetfulness, carelessness, or perhaps ignorance (happy are those who do not know; unhappy are those who do!)—I would have told the story I am going to tell now, without lingering on the place where the first scene unfolded; I would have sketched it easily, walked through the south as through any other province, and called it Avignon, as any city is named.
Now it is different. The whirlwinds of spring are behind me; I live among summer storms and autumn tempests. Now, when I pronounce “Avignon,” I raise a specter, and, like Antony, unfolding Caesar’s toga, said: “Here is the cut from Caska’s dagger, here is the mark of Cassius’s sword, here—is Brutus’s sword”—so too, looking at the blood-soaked veil of the papal city, I say: “Here is the blood of the Albigensians, here is the blood of the Cevennes people, here is the blood of the republicans, here is the blood of the royalists, here is the blood of Lecuyère, here is the blood of Marshal Brune.”
And deep sadness seized me, and I took up the pen. But already from the very first lines I noticed, without knowing it myself, that in my fingers the novelist’s pen had given way to the historian’s pen."
