"Angelot: A Story of the First Empire" by Eleanor C. Price is a historical novel written in the early 20th century, exploring themes of loyalty and conflict during the time of Napoleon's rule in France. The narrative follows the young protagonist, Angelot de la Marinière, a spirited and charming youth grappling with his loyalties between his family, who lean towards Royalist ideals, and the political realities of the Empire under Napoleon. The backdrop is set in the rural landscapes of France, where personal sacrifice, familial bonds, and political tensions intertwine. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Angelot, who arrives at the farm of an old peasant, Maître Joubard, where he shares a moment of reflection with Joubard and his wife regarding their sons lost to war. This dialogue reveals the toll of conscription on the villagers and foreshadows the brewing conflict with the Imperial authorities, represented by the character of General Ratoneau. The opening chapters portray life at Les Chouettes, Angelot's uncle Joseph's hermitage, which becomes a focal point for secretive gatherings and conspiracies against the Emperor. As the tale unfolds, readers witness Angelot navigate complex relationships, loyalty to family, and his own burgeoning sense of identity amidst a backdrop of political turmoil, encapsulating the essence of love, duty, and rebellion in a time of division.
