Russia The novel in the classroom
A historical fiction that opens two centuries of power — and the making of truth. Built for secondary level, at the crossroads of history, civics and the humanities.
Je fus le Président is, for now, a French-language novel; classroom materials are first developed for French and European curricula (History, civic education, media literacy). Tell us your context below.
Power, from the inside
Where the textbook gives dates, the novel steps into the antechamber: how a decision is made, how an office weighs on the person who holds it. History becomes embodied — and so, open to discussion.
Fiction meets History
The narrative crosses real historical figures. Telling the documented from the imagined becomes a critical exercise: what is a source? What can fiction do — and what can it not?
Truth, in the present
The thread runs to the age of screens and the distortion of truth — a concrete way into media and information literacy.
Narrative vs. source
Set an excerpt against a period document: what fiction adds, omits, interprets — and why.
The office and the person
Debate what a role demands and what it changes in the one who holds it. Does power change the person?
Writing workshop
Give voice to a consciousness that crosses a studied era: adopt an internal point of view, write History from within.
Decoding distortion
Spot — in the story and around us — the mechanics by which information is distorted and trust eroded.
