| Summary | "Les compagnons de Jéhu" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written during the mid-19th century. The book explores the tumultuous period of the French Revolution and its aftermath, focusing on themes of revolution, social justice, and the complexities of loyalty and power. The narrative introduces a group of bandits known as the "companions of Jéhu," who embody a royalist resistance against the government and intrigue amidst the chaos of the time. At the start of the novel, Dumas sets the stage with a prologue discussing the historical significance of Avignon and the passions it has incurred over the centuries. Following this, two young men arrive in Avignon during a politically turbulent time marked by the Directoire’s weak governance. They engage in discussions about recent events, including the arrest of a diligence carrying government funds by the companions of Jéhu, contrasting the noble ideals and actions of this group with the brutalities of the ongoing political turmoil. This opening portion establishes a sense of urgency and sets in motion the conflicts and character dynamics that will develop throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
