Ange Pitou (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161421859)

""Ange Pitou"" is a historical novel written by Alexandre Dumas. The story is set during the French Revolution and follows the adventures of a young man named Ange Pitou. Pitou is a peasant who becomes involved in the revolution after being recruited by a group of rebels. He quickly rises through the ranks and becomes a key figure in the revolution. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful aristocrat named Aurore, who is also involved in the revolution. The novel is filled with action, romance, and political intrigue, and provides a vivid portrayal of life during one of the most turbulent periods in French history.Moreover, notwithstanding the terror generally inspired by the sight of monsters, she felt a desire to look at, and perhaps even to admire, this extraordinary man, who by a crime had infused his vile blood into the most aristocratic veins in France, --this man who appeared to have organized the Revolution, in order that it should open the gates of the Bastille for him, in which, but for that Revolution, he would have remained immured forever, to teach him that a plebeian must remember nothing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
