This book examines the numerous contradictions that plagued 18th century France, a time shadowed by impending revolution. The author explores the stark contrast between the lavish lives of France's aristocrats, and the intense poverty of its peasants, an inequality that ignited widespread civil unrest. At the heart of this turmoil, the author presents the compelling narrative of Maurice de Brignon, a young aristocrat torn between his birthright and the plight of the common people. Will Maurice surrender to duty or answer the call of his conscience? The compelling struggle Maurice faces is a microcosm of the chaos that was brewing in pre-revolutionary France, vividly illuminating the tensions and injustices that led to one of the most profound societal upheavals in human history.
