A rich and violent novel of the French Revolution--fr.cvr of Red Cardinal Pocket Book 4th print
Jean Paul Marin was the hot blooded son of a wealthy Sicilian shipowner. He seethed with Republican principals in a land ruled by a decadent nobility. Finding his mistress in bed with the Comte de Gravereau crystallized his hatred and revolt when he was only twenty.
Lawyer, lover, newspaperman, brilliant speaker, member of the States-General- Jean's story is as flamboyant as the upheaval which nourished and consumed his talents - the French Revolution.--amazon

Work Description
Giant Cardinal 4th Printing:
Down the street came a parade of children; they were beating a small keg for a drum and playing homemade flutes. And on the ends of improvised pikes, they bore the heads of three cats, still dripping blood. After witnessing the continuing spectacle of human heads being daily paraded through Parisian streets, the French children had become little monsters.
*Paris was so filled with hatred for everyone and everything that reason, itself, stood decapitated. So during the French Revolution, Parisians and their society sank into abject depravity. This was the society that Jean Paul Marin, who at the age of twenty, was **beaten and imprisoned by the noble class and by the age of twenty five helped create the inhumane society required for the great bloodletting of the Napoleonic wars.*--GoodReads Review
