The novel is a blend of romance, tragedy, and political drama, making it a compelling read for those interested in French history and literature. Vigny's eloquent writing style and attention to historical detail immerse the reader in a bygone era.

'Cinq Mars - Complete' is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and those seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities of power and ambition.


Über den Autor

Alfred de Vigny, a luminary of French literature, was born on March 27, 1797, into a noble military family. His foray into the literary scene was marked by the distinct Romantic flavor of his poetry and prose, which navigated the philosophical and spiritual angst of his era. A member of the prestigious Académie Française, de Vigny's contributions to literature are imbued with his reflections on stoicism and the individual's struggle against fate, themes that resonate through his acclaimed historical novel, 'Cinq Mars — Complete' (1826). This seminal work not only exemplifies de Vigny's narrative prowess but also his capacity to weave historical fact with literary fiction, a hallmark of his writing style. Anchoring his characters in the turbulent phase of Louis XIII's reign, the novel uncovers the complexities of political intrigue and personal ambition, thereby illuminating the human condition. De Vigny's literary corpus is considered a cornerstone of French Romanticism, capturing the transition from aristocratic to democratic sensibilities. His legacy persists in the continued study and appreciation of his novel 'Cinq Mars' among both scholars and literary enthusiasts.
