The previous post quoted some dialogue from Victor Hugo's
novel about the French Revolution, Ninety-Three.
This suggests a look at the following non-fiction book:
Compare and contrast with the novel The Eight , by Katherine Neville,
about chess and the French Revolution.
Neville's birthday, April 4, plays a major role in her novel. The dies natalis
(in the Roman Catholic sense) of the above Birth of the Chess Queen
author, on the other hand, was reportedly November 20, 2019.
