Love and Liberty: A Thrilling Narrative of the French Revolution of 1792
1869
Dumas transforms the French Revolution into pulse-pounding adventure in this lesser-known masterpiece. The year is 1792. France teeters on the edge of annihilation as foreign armies march toward the border, royalist conspirators scheme within the walls, and the revolutionary tribunal prepares to pass its first death sentences. René Besson, a young carpenter raised by his uncle, seems an unlikely figure to matter in such times, until he finds himself caught up in the capture of Louis XVI at Varennes, and his small life becomes entangled with history itself. Revolutionary fervor takes hold. But as the Reign of Terror tightens its grip, René must navigate a treacherous landscape where love and liberty demand impossible sacrifices. His admiration for Sophie Gerbaut, a young woman he encounters while seeking work, blossoms into something that the chaos around them threatens to destroy. The Duke d'Enghien moves through these pages as both obstacle and enigma, and Dumas weaves the personal and political into a tale as thrilling as any of his more famous works.
