Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Chouans" by Honoré de Balzac is a novel published in 1829. Set in Brittany during the 1799 royalist uprising, it weaves military history with a passionate love story between the aristocratic Marie de Verneuil and the royalist leader Alphonse de Montauran. Following Sir Walter Scott's example, Balzac uses France's turbulent post-Revolutionary period as backdrop for a tale exploring love, betrayal, and social conflict. This was the first novel Balzac published under his own name, marking a turning point in his literary career.
