Email Synopsis:
It is 1904. A letter is found hidden in an old book describing the burial in a ravine of a treasure taken from Moscow in 1812. The drama unfolds with the advance of Napoleon’s grand army into Russia, and relates its terrible retreat through the eyes of Michael Korsowski, a Polish cavalry officer. Meanwhile, the heroine of the tale, Ellen Charpentier, waits and hopes for his deliverance. After the discovery of the treasure, those who survive the retreat do so in the expectation of being able to share it. However, more suffering and death await them during the campaign of 1813 that brings Napoleon’s Empire to its knees. To safeguard the treasure, Michael and a few fellow survivors bury it. Michael then nearly dies of typhus, and on what he believes to be his death bed writes the letter that is to survive untouched until 1904, as it is never sent to its intended destination.
