The Revolution of 1789 completely changed the life of every Frenchman - from everyday life to symbols and the calendar. What to do? Run or stay, fight or accept? The Wheel of History crushed some and exalted others; the veils of hypocrisy have been shed, cruelty and meanness triumph, but decency, love and loyalty have not disappeared. Just yesterday General Lafayette was a popular idol; today he is declared a traitor and is captured by the Austrians; his wife Adrienne voluntarily goes to Olmutz with her daughters to share her husband's imprisonment. The United States demands the release of the hero of the New World, but his freedom is brought by the military successes in Italy of the young General Buonaparte, who also met his great love... The book is a continuation of the novel “The Love of Lafayette,” previously published in the same series. Sign of information products 12+
