Weyman is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous early days of the French Revolution, focusing on the struggles between the aristocracy and the rising democratic sentiments among the populace. The central characters include Markiisi de St. Alais and Kreivi de Saux, who navigate the complexities of love, loyalty, and political conflict against the backdrop of societal upheaval. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Markiisi de St. Alais as he engages in a conversation filled with disdain for the shifting societal norms and the dilemmas faced by the aristocracy. The interactions hint at the crucial roles of familial ties and political alliances, particularly regarding de Saux's feelings towards Denise, St. Alais's sister. As tensions flare over emerging political issues, the sense of impending chaos looms large, indicated by a protest and a call to defend noble rights, underscoring the turbulence of the era. The chapter notably sets the stage for the personal and political conflicts that will unfold as different factions struggle for power amid the revolutionary fervor.
