"Love and Liberty: A Thrilling Narrative of the French Revolution of 1792" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative highlights key events surrounding the French Revolution, particularly focusing on the life and experiences of Réné Besson, a carpenter who becomes intertwined with the revolutionary fervor and political upheaval of the era. As the title suggests, themes of love and freedom play a pivotal role in shaping the characters and their motivations. At the start of the narrative, Dumas presents both an introduction and a prologue, explaining the significance of Louis XVI's flight and capture at Varennes, which serves as a critical moment in the Revolution. Réné Besson, an orphan raised by his uncle, emerges as the primary character whose reflections on his upbringing and early influences set the stage for his eventual political awakening. Through encounters with influential figures, like Jean Baptiste Drouet and the Duke d’Enghien, and the admiration he develops for Sophie Gerbaut, a young woman he meets while seeking work, Réné’s personal journey unfolds against the backdrop of broader historical tumult. The opening thus sets a tone of camaraderie, ambition, and emerging ideological conflict, foreshadowing the dramatic events to come.
