Summary: "Cinq Mars — Volume 4" by Alfred de Vigny is a historical novel set in the early 19th century. This installment focuses on the turbulent political climate surrounding the figure of Cinq Mars, a young nobleman, as he navigates alliances and conflicts amidst the backdrop of France's monarchy, particularly the rivalries involving Cardinal Richelieu and the royal family. The book delves into the complex interplay of power, ambition, and the emerging social unrest in Paris during the Fronde rebellion.
