Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Alexandre Dumas's novels are notable for their suspense and excitement, their foul deeds, hairsbreadth escapes, and glorious victories. In The Black Tulip (1850), the shortest of Dumas's most famous tales, the real hero is no Musketeer, but a flower. The novel - a deceptively simple story - is set in Holland in 1672, and weaves the historical events surrounding the brutal murder of John de Witte and his brother Cornelius into a tale of romantic love. The novel is also a timeless political allegory in which Dumas, drawing on the violence and crimes of history, makes his case against tyranny and puts all his energies into creating a symbol of justice and tolerance: the fateful tulipa negra.This new edition reprints the first, classic English translation. David Coward sets the novel in the context of its author's life, the turbulent history of the Dutch Republic, and the amazing `tulipmania' of the seventeenth century which brought wealth to some and ruin to many. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Notă biografică
Alexandre Dumas was a renowned French writer born on July 24, 1802. He is best known for
his historical novels, including The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man in
the Iron Mask. Dumas was the son of a French nobleman and a Haitian slave, and his mixed-race
background influenced his writing, which often featured themes of social justice and equality.
Dumas's literary career began as a playwright, and his first major success was the play Henri III et
sa Cour (Henry III and His Court) in 1829. He went on to write numerous plays and novels, earning
him great popularity and wealth during his lifetime. However, Dumas also faced discrimination and
financial difficulties due to his race.
Today, Dumas is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in French literature and his works
continue to be celebrated for their exciting plots, memorable characters and exploration of complex
social issues.
