It's January the 13th, 1898, under a huge headline, reading "I accuse", the great novelist, Émile Zola, writes an open letter to the French president.
"Mr President, will you allow me to tell you that your star, so happy until now, is in danger of being dimmed by the most shameful and indelible of stains. It is my duty to speak up, I will not be an accessory to the fact. If I were, my nights would be haunted by that innocent man so far away, suffering the worst kind of torture, as he pays for a crime he did not commit."
The innocent man was a Jewish Army officer called Alfred Dreyfus, convicted of treason and jailed on a desert island. Zola names seven top military officers and accuses them of framing him.
"I have but one goal, that light be shed in the name of mankind which has suffered so much, and has the right to happiness. My ardent protest is merely a cry from my soul, let them dare to summon me before a court of law."
The military conspiracy had started three and a half years earlier with the discovery of a torn-up sheet of paper.今天,让我们回到19世纪末的法国,回到"J'accuse"报,来重温史上最重要的新闻之一。Simone Walks报道。
1898年1月13日,顶着巨大的“我谴责”的标题,伟大的小说家Émile Zola向法国总统写了一封公开信。
“总统先生,请允许我告诉您,您一直以来都光芒万丈的功名,正面临着被印上最为耻辱和无法磨灭的污迹的危险。我有畅所欲言的责任,我不想成为所谓事实的帮凶。如果我不说,我的黑夜中将会萦绕着那个无辜男人的身影,他身处远方,为莫须有的罪名承受着最为可怕的折磨。”
这个无辜的男人是一位叫Alfred Dreyfus的犹太裔军官。他被指控犯了叛国罪,并被囚禁在一座荒岛上。Zola列出了七位最高军事指挥官,并指控他们陷害他。
“我只有一个目的,就是以人类的名义让真相大白,人类已经承受了过多的苦痛,应该有权获得幸福。我的这番强烈抗议来自于灵魂深处,他们有种就带我上法庭吧。”
这桩军事阴谋始于三年半前,有人发现了一张被撕碎的纸并开始了这一切。
