The Great House, written by Stanley J. Weyman and first published in 1919, is a historical novel set in 18th century France. The story revolves around the de Vlaye family and their grand estate, the Ch�����teau de Vlaye. The patriarch of the family, the Marquis de Vlaye, is a proud and stubborn man who is determined to keep his family's legacy intact. However, his children have their own ambitions and desires, which often conflict with their father's wishes.The novel is divided into three parts, each focusing on a different generation of the de Vlaye family. The first part introduces the reader to the Marquis and his family, including his son, the Comte de Vlaye, and his daughter, the Marquise de Plesguen. The second part follows the Comte's son, the Vicomte de Vlaye, as he navigates the political and social upheavals of the French Revolution. The final part centers around the Vicomte's daughter, the Comtesse de Vlaye, and her struggle to maintain the family's estate and reputation in the aftermath of the Revolution.Throughout the novel, Weyman skillfully weaves together themes of family, love, loyalty, and duty against the backdrop of a changing France. The Great House is a richly detailed and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of the French aristocracy during a tumultuous period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
