The Bronze Eagle: A Story Of The Hundred Days is a historical novel written by Hungarian-born British author Emmuska Orczy, first published in 1915. The story is set during the Hundred Days period of French history, which took place between Napoleon Bonaparte's return from exile on the island of Elba in March 1815 and his final defeat at the Battle of Waterloo in June of the same year.The novel follows the story of a young French aristocrat named Gaston de Luynes, who finds himself caught up in the political turmoil of the time. Gaston is a loyal supporter of the Bourbon monarchy, but when Napoleon returns to France and begins to gather support, Gaston is forced to make a difficult choice.As the Hundred Days progress, Gaston becomes involved in a number of dangerous and thrilling adventures, including a daring escape from prison and a dramatic rescue of the Bourbon king. Along the way, he also falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Marie, who shares his passion for the royalist cause.The Bronze Eagle is a fast-paced and action-packed novel, full of intrigue, romance, and political drama. Orczy's vivid descriptions of the French countryside and the characters' adventures make the story come alive, and her attention to historical detail adds an extra layer of authenticity to the narrative.Overall, The Bronze Eagle is a thrilling and engaging read that will appeal to fans of historical fiction, adventure stories, and romance novels alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
