J'accuse !

"I repeat it with even more vehement certainty: the truth is on the march, and nothing will stop it."

It was in 1898, in an open letter to the President of the Republic, Félix Faure, that Émile Zola delivered this powerful statement. Let us recall the context: Captain Dreyfus had been accused of spying for Germany, against all reason. Convicted, he stood as living proof of a nauseating climate of antisemitism. It soon became clear that the real culprit was Commandant Esterhazy. But the army refused to admit its mistake..."

"J'accuse !" is available on Storyplay'r in an illustrated version, in an audio version narrated by french native storytellers. Thanks to our reading module, we can offer a reading aid for this story as well as for all the other ones, and tools for a dyslexic children adapted version.
