| Summary | "Le chevalier de Maison-Rouge" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set against the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution, primarily focusing on the events surrounding the attempt to rescue Marie Antoinette. The narrative introduces us to several key characters, including Maurice Lindey, a young army officer, and a mysterious young woman, whose fateful encounter in the dark streets of Paris sets the stage for the unfolding drama. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere in Paris on the night of March 10, 1793, as Maurice Lindey comes to the aid of a young woman being apprehended by a group of overeager volunteer soldiers. The city is shrouded in a feeling of dread and vigilance as citizens fear the violence and chaos of revolution. After saving her, Maurice learns about the political turmoil and dubious nature of her presence in the streets, hinting at deeper mysteries yet to be revealed. This encounter ignites a chain of events that intertwine their fates, promising romance, danger, and the exploration of loyalty amidst the revolutionary fervor.
