Rok 1793. Najbúrlivejší rok Veľkej francúzskej revolúcie. Rok úžasného desu a hrôzy, ale aj rok velikánskeho obrodzovania ľudstva, obrodzovania, ktoré je, ostatne pre históriu a ľudstvo dôležitejšie a významnejšie než ten des a hrôza. Pretože ten des a tá hrôza triafali do toho, čo pre históriu – a predovšetkým pre ľudstvo – prestávalo mať svoj bytostný význam: rojalizmus, monarchizmus, feudalizmus. Na pozadí tragicky chmúrnych i oslnivo žiarivých udalostí sa odohrávajú o nič menej tragické i žiarivé príbehy ľudí, ktorí sa v nich zmietali, ktorí v nich trpeli, ktorí v nich jasali, ktorí v nich padali – ale aj víťazili: myšlienkou pokroku, ľudstva a ľudskosti.
