Fouché #1

The opening volume of this French historical series plunges readers into the fire and fury of the Revolution, with a lone figure in dark period dress striding through a landscape of smoke, rubble, and burning buildings against a vivid red-orange sky. That solitary, almost theatrical silhouette — hat aloft, coat billowing — captures the audacious spirit of the revolutionary period in a single striking image. Nicolas Juncker and Patrick Mallet launch what promises to be a gripping biographical portrait of one of history's most cunning political survivors.
