When the King Loses his Head
By Leonid Andreyev
Translated by Archibald J. Wolfe
Narrated by Denis Daly
In this novella, set in the French Revolution, Leonid Andreyev explores the behavior of a people as it prepares to exchange one form of public servitude for another.
As with most of the works of Andreyev, the mood is sombre, and reflects the author's extreme disillusion with the fallout from the Russian revolution, which he had initally greeted with enthusiasm.
