Summary "The Brass Bell; or, The Chariot of Death" by Eugène Sue is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set against the backdrop of Julius Caesar’s invasion of Gaul, the story delves into themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and class struggle, as it follows the characters Albinik and Meroë, a married couple determined to resist Roman domination. The novel is part of a larger series called "The Mysteries of the People," aiming to explore the plight of the proletarian class throughout history. At the start of the tale, readers are introduced to Albinik and Meroë as they leave a gathering of Gallic tribes preparing to resist the Roman invaders. The couple embarks on a perilous journey, driven by the gravity of their homeland’s plight, culminating in a heart-wrenching sacrifice to unite their people against Roman forces. The opening paints a vivid picture of the dire situation in Gaul and sets the stage for the couple's courageous venture into the depths of enemy territory, foreshadowing their struggles and the greater conflict ahead.
