Captain Black Sinners. Ponson du Terrail, P.A. de

South of France is a land of religious and political passions. Anger here goes out quickly, but hatred is stored for a long time. After the fall of Napoleon, the Catholics began to be filed with the Protestants to whom the empire provided patronage. A vague situation led to the emergence of organizations that called themselves the runs of justice, but often acting as criminals. Among these are the brotherhood of black sinners. Having covered his face with black hoods in the manner of an ancient monastic order, praying for the souls of repenting sinners, the newly -minted champions of justice sowed fear and turmoil in the hearts of the inhabitants of the Provence. What are their real goals, who their leader - there were many rumors and suspicions on this score, but there was no exact answer.

The next volume of the “adventure masters” includes Roman Ponson du Terrail “Captain Black Sinners”. Using real facts, a writer, whose childhood passed near the described places, sets out his version of events who excited the entire Provence during the reign of King Louis Filippa I.
