"The Huguenot: A Tale of the French Protestants. Volumes I-III" by G. P. R. James is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story is set during the turbulence of the 17th century in France, focusing on the Huguenots, who were French Protestants facing persecution. The main character introduced is Albert Count of Morseiul, a nobleman who grapples with the political and religious strife of his time while navigating personal relationships and defending his people. The opening of the novel presents a vivid setting of the small town of Morseiul, where the local inhabitants are introduced along with the political tensions they face as Huguenots. The chapter describes the physical landscape and the town's atmosphere, then shifts focus to Count Albert and his friend, Chevalier Louis d’Evran, who share a meal while discussing the current state of affairs. Tension mounts as the townspeople, angered by a royal proclamation threatening their religious rights, gather in the square, leading to a moment of confrontation with royal officials. Count Albert's commitment to protect his townsfolk becomes evident as he prepares to intervene in the mounting conflict, setting the stage for the struggles they must endure together.
