Summary: "Uhkea markiisi" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Marcel de Bardelys, who is embroiled in courtly matters, gambling, and romantic pursuits, particularly his ambitious attempt to woo the beautiful Roxalanne de Lavédan while competing against rival suitors. The novel promises a mix of intrigue, romance, and the complexities of social hierarchies during a tumultuous period in France. At the start of the narrative, we find Marcel de Bardelys engaged in a raucous dinner party with friends, where playful banter and a wager lead to a bold challenge: if he can win over the heart of Roxalanne de Lavédan, a woman reputed for her cold beauty, he stakes his estate, while Count de Chatellerault risks his own properties. This initial scenario sets the tone for a tale filled with high-stakes romance and societal expectations, as Bardelys contemplates the daunting task ahead amidst the backdrop of underlying tensions in the court and hints of political unrest. The camaraderie and rivalry at the dinner table hint at the character dynamics that will further unfold as Bardelys embarks on his quest in Languedoc. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
