1.-Antonio Machado said carrying inside drops of Jacobin blood, but already no matter what moves in arteries of the poets: is uncomfortable liquid anger coming from the dark ages which Brecht called natal, which are now at disguised as others. And Jean Rehoir claimed the blood of the Jacobin agitator Saint-just, a boy who two centuries ago, in three years of fury, put upside down to France before ( had 26 years ) the guillotine before which knelt down his adversaries will cut ( without a complaint, ) the neck. What there is in the blood of bloodthirsty gentle spirits to summon it as distinctive of elevation?Valle Inclán directs radios, televisions and newspapers and Montesquieu is front-page news, his wayward grandson, deserves shelter in a corner because under the asphalt of the end of Millennium can be heard still Crackle of the split of Europe following the speech of Saint-just, ( it had 23 years ) at the National Convention in November 1792. Being hotly discussed if, dethroned Luis XVI should be judged by Parliament or, as a citizen, by an ordinary court. The boy went up to the podium and her sharp voice broke through in the gibberish, leaving behind a terrified silence. From its mouth flowed this bleak punch of logic: " would judge a King as a citizen?

And a flattering, frivolous and miserable people by a magnanimous, powerful and happy people ". It would be strange that at these words someone showed their disagreement, but more unusual even would listen to them today in the mouth of a large part of political leaders and public officials in whom we delegate our sovereign power. They are the words of one of the most controversial, and suggestive of contemporary Europe: Maximilien Robespierre. I found this text on the exciting novel by Javier García Sánchez, Robespierre, where over more than a thousand pages discusses the life and political career of the French revolutionary, and so usa memory and the memory of a literary character, Sebastian-François Precy of Landrieux and Duclos. I have not finished it yet, but this fictional story, with great respect to the 40 sources; just look at the Post scriptum, composed of about 200 pages where the treatment given to the biografiado in the historiography ) reviewed, I find it more attractive than the work of Peter McPhee research: Robespierre. A revolutionary life. Find me it easy to make the comparison because I've done a reading below the other.
