The Witness
"I was there. That is the whole trick of it."
The Longlived is narrated by Cassian Vale — a man who has had a very, very long time to remember. He was in the streets of Pompeii when the sky went dark, on the ice when Franklin's ships went silent, at the walls the night Constantinople fell. He does not explain history. He remembers it, the way you remember a house you once lived in.
Cassian Vale is a fictional narrator; the history he witnesses is real.
Every episode stands on the actual record — the letters, the digs, the testimony — and tells you honestly when that record argues with itself.
Partnerships
