Summary "The Companions of Jehu" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written during the early 19th century. Set against the backdrop of post-Revolutionary France, the narrative revolves around a group of bandits known as the Companions of Jehu, who are depicted as avengers of the royal cause while engaging in daring robberies of government funds. Through the characters, such as Roland and his enigmatic companion, the novel explores themes of loyalty, bravery, and the tumult of the times. At the start of "The Companions of Jehu," Dumas offers a detailed introduction to the historical context that shapes his story, focusing on the volatile political landscape of France during the late 18th century. As two travelers arrive in Avignon, they quickly become embroiled in discussions about the notorious highwaymen who are actively robbing government transports. The dialogue reveals the fear and excitement surrounding these bandits, framing them not simply as criminals but as outlaws with a purpose. The opening portion sets the stage for the impending adventures and moral complexities the characters will navigate as France grapples with its revolutionary identity.
