White and blue

December 1793, the second year of the French Republic. The Fatherland is in danger! Strasbourg is a "city of roads", the main intersection of Europe, in terrible confusion. The enemy at the gate. Prussians on the Rhine. Not the best time was chosen by the father of young Charles, sending his son to Strasbourg to learn Greek. A teenager who takes the first steps into a big life falls into the house of a strange mentor, which is surrounded by a whole regiment of bodyguards bearing the name - "hussars of death". In the next volume of the illustrated collected works of Alexander Dumas, the novel “White and Blue” is included - the dramatic story of the end of the age of the XVIII, which was played by the young artilleryman, who very quickly became General Napoleon Bonaparte. The book covers a long period of time, from the era of terror to the “Crusade” to Egypt, and is the first in tetralogy about St. Ermine - the family of desperate aristocrats to inherit blood revenge
