It is a timeless classic that has inspired generations of readers and has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and television shows.Mol�����, despite his great height, succeeded in getting through unperceived. He was of no account, and he knew his way inside the house. It was full of people: journalists, gaffers, woman and men--the usual crowd that come to gape. The citizen Marat was a great personage. The Friend of the People. An Incorruptible, if ever there was one. Just look at the simplicity, almost the poverty, in which he lived! Only the aristos hated him, and the fat bourgeois who battened on the people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
