4.0 out of 5 stars The adventures of a royalist hero, January 31, 2001
By 
Guillermo Maynez (Mexico, Distrito Federal Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Le Chevalier des Touches (Paperback)
One night, in a castle, a group of old people remember their many adventures of old, when they fought against the post-Revolutionary government of France. They remind themselves of the brave leader, "The knight of Touches" of the title. Des Touches had an important role as the messenger between the royalists refuged in England, and the fighters in France.

This is not the typical XIX century novel of adventures, it's not swashbuckling. On the contrary, it's dark and nostalgic, and the characters are complex and strange. But it does contain interesting adventures and twists. The ending is funny and less dark, a tender and spicy anecdote involving one of the old ladies present at the conversation. Worth reading.
