Produktbeschreibung
This is Alexandre Dumas¿s 1845 historical romance, "La Reine Margot". Set in Paris during the French Wars of Religion, it tells the story of Marguerite de Valois, better known as Margot, who is the daughter of Henry II and the notorious schemer, Catherine de Medici. A fantastic retelling full of intrigue and passion, "Margaret de Valois" is not to be missed by fans of historical fiction. Alexandre Dumas (1802¿1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have since been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over two hundred motion pictures. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
