Nelskaya Tower. Dumas A.

In the next volume of illustrated collected works of Alexander Dumas, several more small -form masterpieces are included that do not let the reader's attention from the first to the last line.

The action -packed story “Night in Florence” tells the story of the new Hamlet of the Late Renaissance era. The pearl of the cloak and swords - the play “Nelskaya Tower” - gives an alternative interpretation of a terrible medieval legend, ahead of the glory of the novels of Druon and Michel Zevako on a given topic. Another pearl of the genre - the play “The Courtyard of Henry III” - enters into a powerful rivalry with the story of the "Countess de Montsoro" itself! The witty comedy “Youth of Louis XIV” easily and gracefully changes the interpretation of some events of the novels about musketeers. And finally, Anthony is the most personal and scandalous play by Dumas, the production of which made a real splash in the 19th century Theater. The audience literally torn gloves from applause to shreds. Antoni played one hundred and thirty times in a row, which at that time was almost unheard of.
