"Le Chevalier de Maison-Rouge" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution, it explores the tragic fate of notable figures, particularly focusing on Marie Antoinette, who is imprisoned in the Temple. The story revolves around the titular character, Chevalier de Maison-Rouge, and others involved in attempts to rescue the queen from her dire situation. The opening of the novel establishes a grim and tense atmosphere in Paris during March 1793. It describes a city gripped by fear and paranoia, with revolutionary fervor boiling over into violence against perceived traitors. We meet Maurice Lindey, a patriot and officer, who becomes embroiled in the events of the night, intervening to save a mysterious woman from a group of drunken volunteers who would do her harm. Through their encounter, the narrative hints at a deeper intrigue and danger, laying the groundwork for a tale woven with themes of love, loyalty, and the horrors of revolutionary justice.
