Features: 1789-1914 France was immersed in the great upheavals of history. Amid the public's call for heroes in turbulent times, "duels" grew like lush wild grass. Literary creation is inseparable from the soil of the times. So many writers and thinkers discussed this era, discussing the ubiquitous duels in it, just as we discuss a street accident today.
