The Countess of Saint Geran is a historical novel written by the renowned French author, Alexandre Dumas. The story is set in the late 17th century and revolves around a young noblewoman named Marie de Saint Geran. She is married to a wealthy and powerful man, but their marriage is unhappy, and Marie longs for true love and companionship.As the story unfolds, Marie meets and falls in love with a young soldier named Raoul. Their love is passionate and intense, but it is also forbidden. Marie's husband discovers their affair and seeks revenge, leading to a series of dramatic and tragic events.The novel is filled with themes of love, betrayal, revenge, and redemption. It also offers a vivid portrayal of French society during the reign of Louis XIV, with its opulence, decadence, and rigid social hierarchy.Overall, The Countess of Saint Geran is a captivating tale of love and sacrifice that showcases Dumas' masterful storytelling and his ability to capture the essence of a bygone era.An hour later, everybody being tired, all was perfectly still. The prisoner then rose softly, and felt about on tiptoe on the chimneypiece, on the furniture, and even in his clothes, for the key which he hoped to find. He could not find it. He could not be mistaken, nevertheless, in the tender interest of the young girl, and he could not believe that she was deceiving him. The marquis's room had a window which opened upon the street, and a door which gave access to a shabby gallery which did duty for a balcony, whence a staircase ascended to the principal rooms of the house. This gallery hung over the courtyard, being as high above it as the window was from the street.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
