1792, on the eve of the Franco-Prussian conflict. A group of Frenchmen find themselves stranded in Prussia for different reasons. Forced by the Prussian authorities to leave the country, they set out on an adventurous journey through hostile cities, villages, rivers, and forests, with one single goal: to return to France.
The reader follows, breathless, their dramatic journey full of hardship, hunger, and bandits across a hostile land, as narrated by Jules Verne, who with remarkable mastery leads the account to the description of the great Battle of Valmy, where the armies of the French Revolution halted the combined forces of the old world, thus opening a new chapter in human history.
The Road to France is another work by Jules Verne published for the first time in the Greek language.
