The narrator first crosses Germany as a small boy in his father’s travelling carriage, beside General Count Mahon and the servant Joubert, and a castle on the road leaves a memory he cannot explain. Grown up in the glittering Paris of Napoleon III, he meets that past again in love and intrigue, while the drums of the war of 1870 begin to sound.
