The The This is Dreyfus, a very modern affair. I'm Leah Leibowitz.

On our last episodes, we left the Dreyfus family and battled but not bowed fighting for Alfred's freedom and reputation.

It's now time to meet the affairs other great hero, a man who changed everything with just one word.

Jacquesous.

Part 4, Emil Zolola accuses. The woman speaking is Martin the great-to-daughter of the S'moahue, a little

windows featuring animals and plants, a delight to the naturalist writer. On the third, a richly ornate study,

it's well emblazoned with the author's motto, every day, a line.
