About L’Averti
Until his death in 1870, Auguste Roussel never ceased to believe in a glorious destiny for his newspaper. Three generations later, L’Averti still remains a family story, that of the Roussels, and is the eyewitness of their singular destiny in a changing world. L’Averti – La naissance d’une dynastie is the first volume of a rich family saga which will be told in a trilogy.
