Complete and unabridged. The Vendee in 1793 - a royalist rebel, his great-nephew who commands the republican column sent against him, and the former priest who tutored the young man and now watches him for the Republic, all three of them right by their own lights. Hugo's last novel, written at seventy-one, and his most balanced book about revolution. Its 114 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
