Summary "Minä tahdon kostaa" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution, the story revolves around themes of vengeance and honor as characters navigate the complexities of love and social standing during a time of great societal upheaval. The main characters include Paul Déroulède, a gentleman entangled in a duel over a woman's honor, and Juliette de Marny, who is driven by a vow to avenge her brother’s death. The opening of the book introduces a pivotal duel scene in Paris in 1783, where young Count de Marny confronts Paul Déroulède after a perceived slight against a woman they both admire. The tension escalates as the characters prepare to fight, and the narrative unfolds with a mix of youthful bravado and the expectations of societal honor. As the duel progresses, Déroulède accidentally kills de Marny, setting in motion a tragic series of events that intertwine the fates of both families. The initial chapters establish a vivid picture of the social norms and pressures of the time, highlighting the consequences of pride and revenge that will likely play a significant role in the unfolding story.
