Blessed Consciousness

In the village of Aramon, in northern France, lives a boy named Jean. A simple, kind young man, who wouldn't hurt a fly. Not even a fly! He understands the language of bees and plants, birds and beasts. Such a... boy lives... He lives, falls in love. And everything would be fine, but it's the year 1813. All of Europe, which marched in step with Napoleon, suddenly turned back. The Emperor, also known as the 'Corsican Cannibal,' is defeated. Defeated and enraged. He is brutally hungry, and he needs new cannon fodder. Again and again. Three thousand soldiers. Sons of the Fatherland, arise, the day of glory is coming again!..
The next volume of the illustrated collection of works by Alexandre Dumas includes the novel 'Blessed Consciousness' — one of those amazing books where, alongside the drama of great history, there is room for the warmth and light of personal memories.
