| Summary | "La San-Felice, Tome 05" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book unfolds amidst the tumultuous backdrop of Naples in the late 18th century, focusing on themes of loyalty, political turmoil, and personal sacrifice. The story centers around the character of the chevalier Luisa San-Felice and her husband, who navigate the chaos of violence and shifting allegiances in the city, particularly in relation to the aftermath of the murder of a royal courier named Ferrari. At the start of the narrative, the chevalier San-Felice returns home in a distressed state, having witnessed a brutal murder outside his window. This act of violence leads him to seek justice and to understand the larger political implications of the turmoil stirring in Naples. The tension escalates as he is drawn into conversations with royal figures, expressing his concern for the fate of loyal subjects like Ferrari. Simultaneously, Luisa grapples with her own feelings, torn between her duty to her husband and her hidden affections for another man, Salvato. As the couple prepares for a significant departure amidst rising unrest, the emotional stakes heighten, setting the stage for their intertwining destinies against the backdrop of historical upheaval.
