The Chateau Saint-R emy What? Can you not hear it, the rumbling of the earthquake beneath your feet; and the signs in the heavens above your heads? 0, bhnd, and deaf, and foolish! And the storm wiU break, like the hurricane of fire on Gomorrah; and you will sink beneath it, as the doomed cities sank for ever under the lake of bitumen and sulphur! You are mad, mad, mad! These books have turned your mind. Give them up, Maurice, and get your horse and dogs to-morrow, and go into the forests and the pine-woods, and get back your health of mind and body. But I tell you tis-coming, coming, and is at hand the day of vengeance and retribution. What time is this to think of horses and dogs, when the earth is shaking beneath our feet? You re a dreamer of dreams, Maurice deB rignon, a seer of visions and a dreamer of dreams! And mark you, that is a dangerous frame of mind for a young man. Chacun dson metier! And the lot of a young man is to mount a horse, not to sit on a tripod; and to look into his ladys eyes, and not into the glass of a clairvoyant. It needs no tripod and no glass to see what is at our doors, Ren rejoined his companion moodily. I hear the falling of the axe, and that most terrible of sounds the onrushing of a maddened people! You need a doctor, my friend, said Ren6 Pereyra.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
