Summary "The Knight of Malta" by Eugène Sue is a historical novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of Provence, showcasing a time when the coastal regions were plagued by Algerian pirates, creating a sense of urgency and peril. The story introduces various characters, including Cardinal Richelieu and the noble Baron des Anbiez, as they navigate the political and social upheaval caused by these marauding forces. The opening of the book provides a detailed historical context, illustrating how the region suffered under the constant threat of piracy, compelling inhabitants to fortify their homes and livelihoods. We are introduced to the commendable Baron des Anbiez, who represents the local nobility determined to protect his people. Alongside him, the narrative hints toward other key characters, including a mysterious and audacious young Muscovite, Erebus, who, through a daring act of bravery, saves the baron from an untimely death during an encounter involving a troublesome horse. This incident sets the stage for a story filled with adventure, romance, and the age-old struggle against malevolence and chaos. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
