Louis XVI Saying Farewell to His Family (1793) by Mather Brown (1761–1831)

[littlehistorian]

Despite not having an identified tomb or official commemoration, the figure of Louis XVII remains a symbol of childhood violated by ideological conflicts and the human cost of revolutionary processes.

A novel about Louis Charles published in 2002/ Françoise Chandernagor

It is the story of a little boy abandoned by all. Locked in a room, he wastes away slowly, inexorably. This little boy is Louis XVII, son of King Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette. The Revolution tore him from his mother's arms and he is now a prisoner, locked up like an animal. 8 years ago. He doesn't understand. We neither. Despite the richness and precision of the sources, "La Chambre" is not strictly speaking a historical novel. It is above all the painful story of confinement, of an unbearable agony that Françoise Chandernagor gives us. Virulent, she calls out characters who really existed (a notary, a health officer, and even the painter David) ...), indifferent witnesses of the child's ordeal. With these imaginary trials is mingled the detailed, difficult description of these long days of captivity. Beautifully written, vibrating with emotion, anger, compassion, "The Room" is a great book which confronts us with the unspeakable and confirms the existence of an Absolute Evil. "The Room" is the novel of martyred childhood; Chandernagor transcends with genius the historical anecdote to make Louis XVII the symbol of all children victims of adult barbarism throughout the world. A painful, cruel, but indispensable novel.
