The Trampling of the Lilies Produced by An Anonymous Project Gutenberg Volunteer, and David Widger "The Trampling of the Lilies" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel likely written during the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Caron La Boulaye, a secretary passionately caught in the tumult of the French Revolution, and his love for Suzanne de Bellecour, the daughter of an aristocrat. The book explores themes of class conflict, love, and rebellion against oppression as La Boulaye navigates his complex feelings in a rapidly changing society. At the start of the novel, the story is set in the spring of 1789, just before the fall of the Bastille. La Boulaye, despite his lowly status as a secretary, finds joy in his secret love for Suzanne. Their relationship quickly escalates when La Boulaye declares his love, but his confession is met with disdain due to their differing social stations. Infuriated by the encounter and the oppression he faces, La Boulaye defies the Marquis de Bellecour, leading to a violent confrontation that solidifies his role in the revolutionary turmoil and sets the stage for the broader social upheaval that follows. His passion and determination mark the beginning of a journey that intertwines personal and political struggles.
