Summary "Mademoiselle de Cérignan" by Maurice Sand is a historical novel likely written during the late 19th century. The story follows Pierre Haudouin, a colonel in the army of General Bonaparte, who embarks on a mission that leads him to Egypt around the time of the French campaign against the Mameluks. Key characters include the enigmatic Mademoiselle Olympe de Cérignan, her brother Louis, and the spirited Sylvie, who adds complexity to Haudouin's experiences as he navigates the intricacies of war and love. The opening of the novel introduces us to Pierre Haudouin, who has just received orders from General Desaix to leave Florence for a military expedition, leading him toward a journey rife with adventure. On board a ship, he reunites with his friend Hector Dubertet, who has a secretive and intriguing companion, the fiery Sylvie. As the crew prepares to sail toward their destination, hints emerge of Mademoiselle de Cérignan’s family carrying a mysterious aura that piques Haudouin's interest. The narrative is rich with the themes of friendship, intrigue, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of a historical military campaign, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in a foreign land.
