About the Book
This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumas's 1893 historical novel, The Forty-Five Guardsmen. A sequel to Marguerite de Valois and Chicot the Jester, it tells the story of Diane de Méridor's quest for revenge upon Duc d'Anjou for his heinous betrayal of Bussy d'Amboise. A must-read for those who have enjoyed the previous books in this saga, The Forty-Five Guardsmen is worthy of a place on any bookshelf, and is not to be missed by the discerning collector.
About the Author
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 been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures.
Additional Information
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
