| Summary | "Le dernier chevalier" by Paul Féval is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of 18th-century France, during the reign of Louis XV, and introduces characters such as M. Joseph Dupleix and M. Nicolas, intertwining their lives with the socio-political intrigues of the time. The novel likely revolves around themes of knighthood, honor, and the complexities of loyalty amidst the looming threats of revolution and foreign conflicts. At the start of the story, we are drawn into a Parisian scene marked by illness at the royal court and political tensions. The opening introduces us to key figures like M. Joseph, an esteemed but beleaguered individual, and his young companion, M. Nicolas, who assist in the unfolding drama. An awe-inspiring yet tragic incident occurs when M. Joseph is discovered alongside a dead body in his lodgings, hinting at deeper conspiracies and a quest for power that will entangle them both in remarkable adventures. As the narrative progresses, it seems to set a stage filled with betrayal, courage, and the struggle to reclaim lost glory in the midst of social upheaval and personal dilemmas.
