On a snowy night in 1786, a general's son kissed an apprentice prosecutor on the rooftop. In Thermidor, 1794, the prosecutor was supposed to die on the guillotine. Two endings, two fates - but no matter what, he would come back for him. This book contains three chapters: Youth (1786-1787), Days in the Rue Saint-Honoré (1792-1793), After Thermidor (1794-1795) and Double Endings
Purpose: "Under the crushing force of revolution, the guillotine and the wheels of history, two people who don't know how to love slowly learn to say 'please' and 'I love you' - this in itself is a kind of resistance."
