A novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Valmond, a character who claims to be a lost descendant of Napoleon, and explores his interactions with the people of Pontiac as he attempts to gather support for his fanciful claim to reclaim an imperial legacy. The narrative is rich with themes of ambition, identity, and the tension between reality and illusion. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Valmond's encounters with Madame Chalice in her elegant manor, contrasting with the simple life of the villagers. In a blend of charm and intrigue, Valmond engages in discussions with Madame Chalice that reveal his earnestness and ambition while also showcasing a playful courtship. As tensions rise with mockery aimed at him, Valmond steps into the role of a leader determined to gather a following, stating his grandiose plans to march on Paris. This opening sets the stage for a tale woven with humor, romance, and the conflict between dreams and harsh reality, as various characters, including the peasant girl Elise and the old soldier Lagroin, become entwined in Valmond's pursuit of a fantastical quest for power.
