"Ninety-Three (Quatrevingt-treize) [1] is the last novel by the French writer Victor Hugo. Published in 1874, three years after the bloody upheaval of the Paris Commune of the French Revolution, the novel concerns the Revolt in the Vendée and Chouannerie – the counter-revolutionary revolts in 1793 during the French Revolution. It is divided into three parts, but not chronologically; each part tells a different story, offering a different view of historical general events. The action mainly takes place in Brittany and in Paris. " (from Wikipedia). Good .
