The Chouans. E-book. Formato EPUB. The Chouans is an 1829 novel by French novelist and playwright Honor&eacute; de Balzac (1799&ndash;1850) and included in the Sc&egrave;nes de la vie militaire section of his novel sequence La Com&eacute;die humaine. Set in the French region of Brittany, the novel combines military history with a love story between the aristocratic Marie de Verneuil and the Chouan royalist Alphonse de Montauran. It takes place during the 1799 post-war uprising in Foug&egrave;res.<br />Following closely in the footsteps of Sir Walter Scott, the novel uses its truthful historical backdrop to tell a fictional story of people who sculpted the past. The novel addresses themes of passionate love, vengeful trickery, and social status. While it is disdained by critics in favor of Balzac&#39;s later work, the novel marks a turning point in his life and artistry.<br />|Wikip&eacute;dia|
