Features: Between 1789 and 1914, France was immersed in the great upheavals of history. Amid the public's call for heroes in turbulent times, "duels" grew like rampant wild grass. Literary creation is inseparable from the soil of its time. So many writers and thinkers spoke of this era, of the ubiquitous duels that were as commonplace today as we discuss a car accident at the corner. As the mystery of "duels" gradually unravels, we will briefly introduce the literary giants involved in "duels." Some of them fictionalized "duels" in their works, while others became victims of real duels.
