''Le Loup blanc'' (''The White Wolf'') is a French historical novel by Paul Féval, père, first published in France in 1843. The story takes place in Brittany in 1720 and 1740 and incorporates a real historical character: Philippe II, Duke of Orléans. == Plot summary == Nicolas Treml de La Tremlays is a pro-independence Breton lord. He decides to go and fight in duel with Philippe II, Duke of Orléans: if he wins Brittany will be free, but if he loses he will be sentenced for crime of lèse-majesté. Before he leaves Brittany, he makes an agreement with his cousin Hervé de Vaunoy so that his grandson Georges Treml will not be deprived of his possession. But Georges is just a five-year-old child and Nicolas is put in the Bastille with his servant Jude Leker. In Brittany Hervé tries to drown the boy but an albino peasant called Jean Blanc rescues him. Georges disappears however. About twenty years later in 1740, the Breton forest of Rennes has become the ''Wolvesden: the Wolves are poor peasants who want to take revenge of the lords who oppress them. Their leader is called the ''White Wolf''. A young officer of the King, Captain Didier, is sent out to bring them to heel.〔Le Loup blanc, 1843〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Le Loup blanc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
