«Les Chouans» is the historical novel by Honoré de Balzac, published by Gallimard in paperback (510 pages, in French).
In 1799, in Brittany under the Directory, the royalist peasant Chouans fight the Republic. The action pits the Marquis de Montauran, leader of the rebels, against the spy Marie de Verneuil, sent to seduce and capture him. Between them a love is born that clashes with loyalty to their sides, in a plot of civil war, deception and passion.
The work was originally published in 1829 and belongs to Balzac's La Comédie Humaine (position 62). This Folio Classique edition includes a preface by Pierre Gascar and the complete text.
For readers of historical fiction and nineteenth-century French literature, with an interest in the French Revolution and Balzac's classics.
Honoré de Balzac was a French novelist and playwright. The novel sequence La Comédie humaine, described as a panorama of post-Napoleonic French life, is generally viewed as his magnum opus.
