Summary | "Madame Thérèse" by Erckmann-Chatrian is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a small village in the Vosges, focusing on the lives of the characters who include a young boy named Fritzel, his uncle Jacob, and their housekeeper Lisbeth. Central to the narrative is the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolutionary Wars, exploring themes of innocence, conflict, and the impact of political upheaval on everyday life. The opening of the book introduces a serene setting in the village of Anstatt, where Fritzel recounts life before the chaos brought on by the revolution. He describes his interactions with his uncle, a respected doctor, and the tranquil routines of their household, highlighting the close bond they share. However, this peace is shattered when Revolutionary troops invade their village, marking a stark transition from innocence to the brutal realities of war. Fritzel witnesses the arrival of soldiers and the ensuing violence, leading to turmoil and uncertainty, especially as the community grapples with the consequences of their new reality.
