"The Blacksmith's Hammer; or, The Peasant Code: A Tale of the Grand Monarch" by Eugene Sue is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is part of a larger series titled "The Mysteries of the People," which chronicles the lives of a proletarian family throughout various historical events. The opening sets the stage for a narrative centered around the characters of Salaun Lebrenn, a sailor with a rebellious spirit, and his family, while tackling themes of vassalage, social injustice, and personal integrity during the reign of Louis XIV. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Salaun Lebrenn, who recounts his lineage and the struggles of his family under the feudal system in Brittany. The tension mounts as we follow the dramatic events aboard the St. Eloi, a brigantine caught in a fierce storm while carrying distinguished passengers, including Mademoiselle Bertha of Plouernel. The characters' contrasting reactions to the storm reveal their personalities; Bertha stands out for her bravery and philosophical view of life and death. As the narrative unfolds, a powerful undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the ruling class and the burdens placed upon the common people is established, hinting at potential uprisings and conflicts that resonate with the book’s themes of oppression and courage.
