The Plot of the Placards at Rennes, 1802 - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“The Plot of the Placards at Rennes, 1802� (Le Complot Des Libelles) explores a fascinating episode of political intrigue in post-Revolutionary France. Gilbert Augustin-Thierry meticulously details the events surrounding a suspected conspiracy against the Consulate, focusing on the city of Rennes and the surrounding region of Brittany.

The book delves into the complex web of relationships between key figures such as Bernadotte, Fouché, and Napoleon Bonaparte, as well as the activities of royalist Chouans and Jacobin sympathizers. The investigation, involving gendarmes and reaching as far as Bicêtre prison, uncovers a plot potentially linked to figures like Georges Cadoudal and Moreau.

Augustin-Thierry’s work offers a valuable glimpse into the turbulent political landscape of France in the early 19th century, a time of shifting allegiances and ongoing power struggles in the shadow of Napoleon’s rise.
