The mystery has a name: Abbé Faria. At last, the voice in the dark reveals himself—not just in form, but in history. A brilliant, imprisoned mind, Faria recounts his long years of confinement and his fixation not on escape, but on the turning gears of history. While Dantès has fought for survival, Faria has been meditating on empires.
As one man looks inward, the other looks outward. Together, they begin to imagine a future.
🎙️ Topics Covered:
•The revelation of Abbé Faria’s identity
•Imprisonment as a crucible for intellect
•Historical obsession as survival mechanism
•Napoleon, Louis XVIII, and the cyclical rise and fall of rulers
•Dantès’ shift from personal to political consciousness
