Ange is a loyal supporter of the French monarchy, but when he witnesses the cruelty and corruption of the aristocracy, he becomes a revolutionary.Ange joins the revolutionaries in Paris and becomes involved in the storming of the Bastille. He also falls in love with a beautiful actress named Aurore, who is involved in the revolution as well. Together, Ange and Aurore navigate the dangerous and tumultuous world of revolutionary France, facing betrayal, danger, and political intrigue.As the revolution progresses, Ange and Aurore become embroiled in the power struggles of the revolutionary leaders, including Robespierre and Danton. They also witness the horrors of the Reign of Terror, as innocent people are executed in the name of the revolution.Ange Pitou is a thrilling and action-packed novel that captures the spirit of the French Revolution. It is a story of love, loyalty, and political upheaval, and it offers a fascinating glimpse into 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.
