Summary "The Whites and the Blues" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds during the tumultuous period of the French Revolution, painting a vivid picture of the complexities and dangers of that era through the experiences of its characters. The central figure introduced is a young boy named Charles, who arrives in Strasbourg with the hope of studying under Euloge Schneider, a notable figure entrenched in the revolutionary government. At the start of the novel, Charles arrives at the Hôtel de la Poste, where he is greeted by a surly groom named Coclès, who leads him to his accommodations. As he navigates the harrowing atmosphere of a city under the shadow of the guillotine and the strict decrees of the revolutionaries, he learns about the grim fate that awaits those accused of treason. The opening chapters illustrate Charles's initial experiences and interactions with local citizens, including the enigmatic citizeness Teutch and his more adventurous new friend Eugene de Beauharnais. As the story progresses, themes of loyalty, danger, and the evolving political landscape are interwoven through their dialogues and encounters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
