• Abstract: Les Adieux à la reine by Chantal Thomas (2002) and L’Enfant léopard by Daniel Picouly (1999) focus on a few hours or on a few days of the Revolution, in 1789 or in 1794 respectively. Both novels shift their focus from the King, and, with him, from the official History told by historians, in order to give voice to the silences of the past: amorous relations between women, the presence of African and mixed-race people in France. Whether in stylistic refinement or in soapy exaggeration, through minute reconstitution of historical events or through anachronism, they alter our common images about the Revolutionary period by providing a minority perspective.
