Write: The advantage is that Lucien Jerphagnon playback quality is no surprise: always captivating and humorous. Bibliography: Accurate, consistent, relevant. Overall, it seems to read a novel. On Julien: Julien history is almost tragic. The contrast with his predecessor Constantius, son of Constantine, is striking. Julien is anachronistic, passionate classical values and idealistic. The intensity of his thoughts makes the utopian revolt against the new religion, and reformer, almost revolutionary. His intelligence faces a world far removed from that of Homer and Plato, references always. One has the impression that the death of Julian confirms that of classical antiquity. That effort and hopes in vain! Tragic.
