"Les Huit Jours du Petit Marquis; Carlos et Cornélius" by Jules Claretie is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story centers around the character of the marquis de Beauchamp d'Antignac, an exiled French nobleman navigating life in London after escaping the tumult of the French Revolution. The narrative explores themes of longing, identity, and the contrast between society and individual desires as the marquis dreams of returning to France. At the start of the novel, we find the marquis wandering the streets of London on a bleak Sunday in June 1793, lost in his melancholic thoughts of exile and nostalgia for France. The oppressive atmosphere of the city is underscored by his loneliness and financial struggles, as he reflects on missed opportunities and friendships. His encounter with a bouquet seller, a fellow French expatriate named Fanchette, ignites a flicker of hope and companionship amidst his despair. Their budding friendship becomes a vital source of solace, as they share dreams of returning to Paris, despite the continuous reminders of their precarious situation in a foreign land. The opening thus establishes a poignant setting that blends historical context with personal emotion, setting the stage for the characters' intertwined destinies.
