Interpretation During Books Le hussard sur le toit (Le Cycle du Hussard )

Le hussard sur le toit : avec son allure de comptine, ce titre intrigue. Pourquoi sur le toit ? Qu'a-t-il fallu pour l'amener là ? Rien moins qu'une épidémie de choléra, qui ravage la Provence vers 1830, et les menées révolutionnaires des carbonari piémontais.
Le Hussard est d'abord un roman d'aventures : Angelo Pardi, jeune colonel de hussards exilé en France, est chargé d'une mission mystérieuse. Il veut retrouver Giuseppe, carbonaro comme lui, qui vit à Manosque. Mais le choléra sévit : les routes sont barrées, les villes barricadées, on met les voyageurs en quarantaine, on soupçonne Angelo d'avoir empoisonné les fontaines ! Seul refuge découvert par hasard, les toits de Manosque ! Entre ciel et terre, il observe les agitations funèbres des humains, contemple la splendeur des paysages et devient ami avec un chat. Une nuit, au cours d'une expédition, il rencontre une étonnante et merveilleuse jeune femme...

Notice Epithetical Books Le hussard sur le toit (Le Cycle du Hussard )

I cannot for the life of me understand why this book is highly regarded. It provides lots of details of how lots of people die from cholera, which becomes rather repetitive. The style is flabby and whilst the narrative has some interesting spots, this fails to compensate for the other failings.

Loved the book. There is surprsingly small amount of swashbuckling, it is more of an internal monologue for Angelo, who is a true officer and a gentleman. The workings of his mind and what he highlights and emphasizes is truly fascinating. Reading this book made me want to be a more considerate and polite person. He puts the welfare of others above his own, especially towards the end when he escorts Pauline to her aun'ts home. He risks life and limb to get her there safely, because it is what

I'm not usually into adventure novels but this is a strange kind of adventure - as much metaphysical as physical, even though its hero is an expert swordsman (though for proof of this you'd have to see either of the other two Angelo books in English: Angelo - brilliant - or The Straw Man - confused and disappointing but for its one sword-fight, which is jaw-dropping, tear-jerking, astonishing). What makes this work is the character of Angelo - charming, heroic, self-questioning, youthfully

An Italian cavalry officer and revolutionary tries to survive a plague outbreak while traveling through rural France. Beautifully written, strange and horrifying, extremely nasty in certain places but with a cheery narrative pull. Alas for a disappointing ending which takes it down a few points.

This is in the style of the Bildungsroman, about a young man, Angelo, who is traveling from Italy to his home in Provence during a cholera epidemic. It's full of memorable characters, epic action, and gruesome period details. It has the feel of swashbuckling adventure, but more meaningful since it takes place while Angelo grows up.
