"Barnave" by Jules Gabriel Janin is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book reflects on the tumultuous period of the French Revolution, exploring themes of monarchy, loyalty, and the struggle between past and present. The story revolves around the character of Barnave, who is presented as a complex figure intertwined with the major events and personalities of his time, particularly in connection with the monarchy and revolutionary ideals. At the start of the novel, the narrator reflects on his origins and youthful experiences during the French Revolution. He describes himself as a once-prominent figure now reduced to a melancholic state, observing the drastic changes brought about by the revolution and the fall of the monarchy. The opening sections set a tone of nostalgia and introspection, as the narrator contemplates significant historical events and characters like Marie Antoinette and the political turmoil of his youth. It establishes a sense of foreboding about the fate of the monarchy and hints at the deeper conflicts and character developments that will follow in the narrative.

Reading ease score: 75.5 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
