Summary "No Surrender! A Tale of the Rising in La Vendee" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the heroic struggles of the peasants in the region of La Vendee during the French Revolution, specifically their revolt against the revolutionary government. Key figures in the story include Jean Martin, a young and resourceful peasant, and his family, as they navigate through the tumultuous events as the rebellion unfolds. The opening of the novel sets the stage in 1791, introducing the Martin family and their life in the countryside near Poole Harbor. Jean is depicted as a young man torn between his family's interests and the broader political upheaval brewing in France. The narrative provides a backdrop of unrest in France, highlighting the severe implications of the revolutionary changes and the looming threat of violence against those loyal to the monarchy and the church. As the tension escalates, Jean and his allies prepare for the inevitable conflict, setting the foundation for an explosive tale of bravery and resilience amidst the chaos of the time. The tone suggests an emphasis on themes of loyalty, duty, and the fight for justice against oppressive forces. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
