Title : Ninety-three - Victor Hugo - Book

Summary :

1793: a terrifying year in which the Revolution was attacked from all sides and responded to the threat with the Terror. Three men embodied the struggle between the partisans of the Ancien Régime and those of the Republic of Enlightenment and progress: the Marquis de Lantenac, an old aristocrat who was the soul of the Vendée insurrection; Cimourdain, a member of the people and an intractable delegate of the Convention; and Gauvain—nephew of the Marquis and spiritual son of Cimourdain—a nobleman who had joined the ranks of the people. Their terrible confrontation would reveal, beyond the bloody twists and turns of the Revolution, the greatness of the man, his moral conscience, and his integrity. The edition's dossier offers an analysis of David's painting, The Sabine Women (1799), an allegory of France after the Terror.
