When the King Loses His Head by Leonid Andreyev, translated by Archibald J. Wolfe and narrated by Denis Daly, is a novella set during the French Revolution that examines the societal shifts and public sentiment as a nation transitions from one form of authority to another. True to Andreyev's style, the story conveys a somber mood reflecting the author's disillusionment with revolutionary change.
