Brief Author Bio: Let's clear this up now: I'm not a professor. It's a nickname my friends grant me, due to some eccentric behaviour. |

Synopsis: Danton: The Story of a Misanthrope
His life of running brought to a sudden halt, Danton is forced to fight an entirely different war. This is a war of personal liberty. This is a war of protection. This is the War of Danton.
Excerpt: Danton: The Story of a Misanthrope
“To Danton.”
“The Great Misanthrope,” Sarah interjected, also holding her glass aloft. All those who had been here six years ago, and all those who had come across Danton in their own separate lives, thought about him. They finally reached a consensus and joined in with the toast. “To Danton, the Great Misanthrope.” Wine simultaneously poured down fifty throats.
