“Cinq-Mars” (1826) by Alfred de Vigny, a poet and officer, is one of the first French historical novels, written under the influence of Walter Scott. The story is set toward the end of the reign of Louis XIII and tells of a conspiracy by the Marquis Henri de Cinq-Mars, the king’s favorite, against Cardinal Richelieu. Vigny writes about the decline of chivalric honor in the face of modern absolute power. An important character is François-Auguste de Thou, a friend of Cinq-Mars, who, out of loyalty, follows him to the scaffold. Translated by Witold Łaszczyński (1874–1949).

Three volumes in two books, bound together with Jerzy Orlicz’s novel *Warjat* (1923). The copy is in pristine condition.
