Summary "L'Ensorcelée" by J. Barbey d'Aurevilly is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Chouannerie, a civil war in France that highlights themes of heroism and tragedy, exploring the lives of its characters as they navigate a time of chaos and superstition. The narrative seems to intertwine fictional elements with historical events, offering a vivid portrayal of characters likely connected to this tumultuous period, including the mysterious abbé de la Croix-Jugan. At the start of "L'Ensorcelée," we are introduced to the desolate and haunting landscape of the Lessay moors in Normandy, a place filled with eerie beauty and a palpable sense of danger. The protagonist encounters locals who speak of the supernatural, hinting at the land's dark history and the presence of malevolent powers that could influence their lives. In particular, a farmer named Louis Tainnebouy becomes a companion for the traveler, sharing stories of the local lore, including ominous signs connected to an abbé who conducts a secretive midnight mass. This opening sets the tone for a blend of adventure and psychological exploration, foreshadowing the intertwining of personal and historical narratives in the unfolding tale.
