Description

An historical-adventure tale, “Le Comte de Chanteleine,” was written by J. Verne in 1864. 1793. The Great French Revolution. Royal blood has already been shed and mass revolutionary terror has begun. Monarchists are gathering their last strength—and in western France the Vendée begins: a civil war between royalists and revolutionaries. One of the commanders in the king’s army is Count de Chanteleine. He is bold and resolute, but his army keeps retreating further and further—and the count understands that now he must protect his own family from the horrors of the revolution, a family still left in the ancestral castle.
