«Helvétie» is the first novel of Maurice Denuzière's eponymous tetralogy, published by France Loisirs in 1992, in French.
Between 1800 and 1819, the novel follows several characters from the land of Vaud, beside Lake Geneva, while Europe lives through conflicts and intrigues. Love affairs, disappointments and business ambitions intersect with the idea of a federative Europe, promoted since the Enlightenment by philosophers, writers and soldiers, and hampered by England's intransigence.
First installment of the Helvétie tetralogy. The cover shows a sailboat on a lake with period-dressed characters and the title in white letters.
For readers of historical novels set in early 19th-century Europe and of multi-volume sagas.
Maurice Denuzière was a French journalist and writer.
