THE FLIGHT TO FRANCE (LE CHEMIN DE FRANCE)

1792. On the eve of the Franco-Prussian war. A group of Frenchmen are stranded in Prussia, each for different reasons. Forced by the Prussian authorities to leave the country, they embark on an adventurous journey through hostile towns, villages, rivers and forests with a single purpose: returning to France. The reader follows with the breathtaking, dramatic march full of hardships, hunger and bandits, through a hostile country. Narrated by Jules Verne, who with admirable mastery concludes with the magnificent Battle of Valmy, where the French troops drove back the coalition armies of the old world, thus opening a new page in the history of humanity. The Flight to France is another of Jules Verne’s works published for the first time in Greek.
