| Summary | "L'Émigré" by Gabriel Sénac de Meilhan is a novel written in the late 18th century. The narrative appears to center around the turbulent times of the French Revolution, exploring the themes of exile, loss, and the aftermath of societal collapse. The story likely follows the experiences of characters affected by the revolution, including those who support or oppose the changes in France. At the start of the novel, the correspondence emphasizes the emotional turmoil faced by individuals during the revolutionary period, particularly the letters exchanged between characters like La Cesse de Loewenstein and Melle Emilie de Wergentheim. They reflect on the dangers of the time and express relief when safety returns. The letters detail a significant event involving a wounded nobleman, the Marquis de St. Alban, who is taken in by a kind German family after narrowly escaping capture. These initial exchanges set the tone of the narrative, revealing the characters' inner thoughts and their longing for connection amid chaos, while also laying the groundwork for the unfolding story of love, identity, and the consequences of war.
