Description
The Ordeal By Fire is a historical novel written by Marcel Berger and published in 1916. The novel is set in the 16th century during the French Wars of Religion, a period of intense conflict between Catholics and Protestants in France. The story follows the life of a young nobleman named Henri de Guise, who becomes embroiled in the conflict while trying to protect his family and his faith.Henri is a devout Catholic and a member of the powerful Guise family, which is closely aligned with the Catholic Church. When the Protestant Huguenots begin to gain power and influence in France, Henri and his family are threatened. Henri's father is assassinated, and Henri is forced to flee to the countryside.As the conflict intensifies, Henri becomes more deeply involved in the struggle between the two sides. He joins the Catholic League and fights in several battles against the Huguenots. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Marie, who is also a devout Catholic.The Ordeal By Fire is a gripping story of love and war, faith and betrayal, set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in French history. Berger's vivid descriptions and compelling characters bring the story to life, making it a must-read for anyone interested in historical fiction or the history of France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
