A Tale of Druid Gaul E-text prepared by Chuck Greif and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from scanned images of public domain material generously made available by the Google Books Library Project (http://books.google.com/) "The Gold Sickle; Or, Hena, The Virgin of The Isle of Sen. A Tale of Druid Gaul" by Eugene Sue is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This narrative unfolds in ancient Gaul and delves into the lives of its Celtic inhabitants, particularly focusing on the character Joel, a tribal chief, and his daughter Hena. The story intertwines themes of class struggle, cultural conflict, and the clash between the Gallic tribes and Romans, setting the stage for broader social and historical commentary. At the start of the tale, we learn about Joel, who is introduced as brenn of the tribe of Karnak, a devoted father anticipating the return of his daughter Hena. The narrative highlights Joel's hospitality as he encounters a mysterious stranger, whose arrival marks an intriguing twist. The interaction between Joel and the stranger unveils the socio-political tensions of the era, including the imminent threat posed by Roman expansionism. As the story progresses, it builds on communal values, familial loyalty, and foreboding omens hinting at conflict, making the opening chapters a compelling introduction to a narrative rich with folklore and the impending drama of war.
