Send us a textMany religions say that angels walk amongst us. Able to travel from the Heavens and to the Earth as messengers in order to help mankind. While born in the spiritual realm they appear human but are divine in physical strength and durability. These are the case files of Private Detective Caleb Wroth, an angelic warrior sent to this world in order to offset the evil that is multiplying upon the land. Using abilities beyond normal men, Caleb embarks on an endless journey of being a beacon of hope in an evil world.
In this episode of The Countdown of Monte Cristo, the narrative shifts to Paris—to the Tuileries Palace, where King Louis XVIII brushes off warnings of unrest in the south. As Villefort speeds toward the capital, we enter the king’s private study: a scene of philosophical jests, annotated poetry, and political blind spots.
The fate of Edmond Dantès is about to become entangled with the fate of France itself. Dumas reminds us: personal ruin often begins with someone else’s political comfort.
Key Events:
King Louis XVIII hears Duke Blacas’ report of unrest brewing in the south
Blacas urges surveillance in provinces known for Bonapartist loyalty
The king, calm and quipping, prefers poetry to politics
Dumas reveals a monarchy out of touch—with both its enemies and its consequences

Please, use the direct download link: thank you!That is, precisely at the levelThis episode is a bizarre experiment, in which AI voices mix with those of two real-life theater actors, Stefano Romano and Erika Piroscia.After so much useless suffering, Emmanuel wants to have some fun.He is currently engaged (so to speak) in a very relaxed relationship with Elettra, the leader of Tantras (a theater company in Turin).One evening he witnesses an Ionesco-like dialogue between the members of the group and reports it to us verbatim.What emerges is the surreal picture of a group of sympathetic bewildered people, with whom the protagonist spends his time carefree to forget his malaise, waiting to understand if his relationship with Antonio (with whom, unlike with Elettra, he is serious) will be able to take off.All the characters are AI.During the episode you can listen to covers or live versions of "Cuccurucucù Paloma" and "Bandiera bianca" by Franco Battiato.
