The book delves into the history and tales surrounding the infamous prisons of Paris, with a focus on notable figures associated with these places, particularly during the monarchy and the French Revolution. It paints a vivid portrayal of the harsh realities faced by prisoners throughout France's turbulent history. The opening of the book sets the stage by exploring the oppressive atmosphere of Parisian prisons, emphasizing their prevalence in society leading up to the Revolution. It reflects on the concept of justice in those times, dominated by vengeance rather than reform, and introduces the reader to various notorious prisons, such as the Bastille and the Conciergerie. Hopkins provides a historical context filled with intrigue and misery, detailing not just the architectural aspects of these dungeons but also the human suffering that occurred within their walls. As the narrative unfolds, it promises to reveal both the dark histories and poignant stories of individuals caught within the cruel machinery of justice.
