The book explores the tumultuous period of the French Revolution and its aftermath, focusing on themes of revolution, social justice, and the complexities of loyalty and power. The narrative introduces a group of bandits known as the "companions of Jéhu," who embody a royalist resistance against the government and intrigue amidst the chaos of the time. At the start of the novel, Dumas sets the stage with a prologue discussing the historical significance of Avignon and the passions it has incurred over the centuries. Following this, two young men arrive in Avignon during a politically turbulent time marked by the Directoire’s weak governance. They engage in discussions about recent events, including the arrest of a diligence carrying government funds by the companions of Jéhu, contrasting the noble ideals and actions of this group with the brutalities of the ongoing political turmoil. This opening portion establishes a sense of urgency and sets in motion the conflicts and character dynamics that will develop throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
