Alexandre Dumas Boeken

Des « noces vermeilles » de Marguerite de Valois et Henri de Navarre, prélude au massacre des protestants, à la mort de Charles IX baignant dans une rosée de sang, les deux années qui s'écoulent comptent parmi les plus cruelles de l'histoire de France. Guerres civiles de religion, luttes d'influence au sein de la famille royale, complots et assassinats politiques forment la trame sombre sur laquelle se détache la figure de Margot. Beauté incomparable, dame galante, cette fille de France est aussi une femme de lettres doublée d'une redoutable politique ; Marguerite est avant tout une Valois, fille de roi, sœur de roi, femme de roi. Et le brave La Mole, ce jeune gentilhomme protestant réfugié dans l'alcôve royale pour échapper à ses assassins la nuit de la Saint-Barthélemy, sait que l'amour qu'il voue à cette perle le précipitera au cœur d'intrigues de pouvoir où la vie d'un homme n'a guère de poids.

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”
