"Robert Tournay: A Romance of the French Revolution" by William Sage is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution, focusing on the life and struggles of the main character, Robert Tournay, who is the son of an estate intendant. The book explores themes of class disparity, social justice, and the personal battles of individuals caught in the larger political upheaval. The opening of the story introduces readers to the aristocrat Marquis de Lacheville, who is engaged to Edmé, the daughter of Baron de Rochefort. However, their engagement is marred by a lack of love, as de Lacheville is self-absorbed and more interested in his own desires. The narrative then shifts to Robert Tournay, who observes the events around him with a growing awareness of the injustices of his society. As the story unfolds, Tournay's conflict with de Lacheville intensifies, touching on themes of honor and the rights of man amidst the backdrop of a society on the brink of revolution. Despite the aristocrats' ignorance of the brewing storm, Tournay is determined to champion the cause of the oppressed, setting the stage for his involvement in the unfolding revolution.
