Exploring the intersection of military and religious life during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, this high-quality reprint preserves the insights of the original 1874 edition. It delves into how these two spheres influenced each other, shaping societal norms and cultural practices of the time. The book offers a historical perspective that highlights the complexities and dynamics of life in these transformative periods.

Set in 1438, the story revolves around the sinister Macabre, who resides in a cemetery in Paris, alongside his wife Giborne. He has built a fortune through a macabre theater and the sale of stolen garments from the deceased. The plot thickens when his partner, Benjamin, becomes infatuated with a nobleman's wife and devises a plan to eliminate her husband. This leads to a chilling sequence of death, torture, and disease, all unfolding against the backdrop of a notorious ossuary, enhancing the tale's dark atmosphere.

The unchanged reprint of the original 1876 edition preserves the rich descriptions and illustrations that highlight the daily lives and cultural norms of people from these eras, making it a valuable resource for those interested in history and fashion.

The book offers a vivid portrayal of 19th-century life through a rich collection of text and over 400 illustrations curated by Paul Lacroix. It immerses readers in the era's unique blend of enlightenment and superstition, showcasing the lives of scholars, surgeons, magicians, rulers, and actors. This period was marked by expanding scientific and philosophical understanding, yet it was also characterized by persistent beliefs in sorcery and the fear of demonic influence, creating a fascinating juxtaposition of knowledge and superstition.
