The Chouans
The first book, published under the author;s own name in 1829, by Honoré de Balzac, a French novelist and playwright of the 19th century. It can be regarded as a peculiar prologue to his great epic “La Comédie Humaine”. The action takes place at the end of 1799, basing on one of the episodes of the struggle of royalist forces with Chouans. Balzac, creating a truthful picture of reality, reveals the causes of the rebellion with the help of accurate and clear characterization, cast light on the details of tactics, and imminence of the triumph.
