Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rosine In the forest of Rambouillet, and the hamlets on its outskirts, blinding snow was falling thick and fast. Already the storm had swept it into waving drifts of three and four feet deep, that choked the narrow lanes and passes of this secluded district, and effectually stopped communication between its neighbouring villages. Provisions ran short; firewood grew scarce, for even where it could be had for cutting, the labour of drawing it through the snow was irksome and severe; wolves, driven by stress of hunger from their haunts in the forest, howled round the homesteads at night, and left long, winding tracks in the snow, where they had quested about the outbuildings, and snuffed audaciously at the cottage doors. Men´s faces grew gaunt and careworn, women lost their beauty, and little children, white with hunger, cried aloud for bread. During the reign of Louis Seize, a severe winter in France meant death to many, privation, discontent, and danger to all. What matter?
