Synopsis

Louis Duval: A Tale of the French Revolution follows a young man’s rise amid the turmoil of 1789, blending adventure with history.

Set against the first sparks of the French Revolution, this tale follows Louis Duval as he grows from a sheltered ward of a noble household into a vigilant youth shaped by war, hunger, and escape. The story pairs vivid scenes of chateau life with the chaos of a nation in upheaval, giving readers a grounded view of how history touches individual lives. As Louis relocates from safety to danger, the bond between him and his benefactors—and his own sense of duty—are put to the test.

About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Louis Duval: A Tale of the French Revolution

Louis was seated on the ground, leaning against his grandmother's knee, and looking up wistfully at her wrinkled face. It was long past noon, and they had not dined.

Will my father come back soon, do you think, grandmother asked Louis, breaking a long silence.

I do not know, my poor boy,' replied Margaret. 'if he should have succeeded in getting work, he will not be long, I think. It will be such good news.'
