The Count of Chanteleine

A Tale of the French Revolution

A nobleman, the Count of Chanteleine, leads a rebellion against the revolutionary French government. While he fights for the monarchy and the church, his home is destroyed and his wife murdered by the mob. Now he must save his daughter from the guillotine. This exciting swashbuckler is also a meticulous historical re-creation of a particularly bloody episode in the Reign of Terror.

excellent short story

the narrator was a bit jarring but overall did not overcome the excellence of this novel but a master story teller. very satisfying outcome

A Hidden Treasure

While “The Count of Chanteleine” may not boast Verne’s interplanetary voyages or fantastical inventions, it offers something equally precious—a glimpse into the human heart during history’s tempests. It beckons readers to tread the cobbled streets, hear the cries of liberty, and grapple with their own allegiances.
