E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Bastiljin valloitus" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the backdrop of the French Revolution, likely focusing on the events leading up to the storming of the Bastille, which serves as a pivotal moment in Parisian history. The main character introduced in the opening is Ange Pitou, a young man who has lost his parents and is navigating life under the care of his strict aunt while grappling with the tumultuous changes in society around him. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to the setting and the protagonist, Ange Pitou, who is a seventeen-year-old orphan living with his unsympathetic Aunt Angélique. The opening chapter delves into the distinctive features of his hometown, Villers-Cotterets, and the relationship dynamics between Pitou and his aunt, marked by her bitterness and his longing for maternal care. Despite his struggles with education and authority, it becomes clear that Pitou possesses a strong sense of self-reliance, especially demonstrated through his skill in hunting and resourcefulness in the natural world.
