Small collected works. Dumas A.

“History (with a capital letter) is just a forever a nail on which I hang a bunch of my novels,” said once the famous French writer Alexander Dumas. Indeed, the author easily captivates us with the story of the events in Holland of the 17th century, where there is a cruel struggle for power and at the same time passionate tulipanomania (“Black Tulip”) continues, forces to worry about the young French Princess at the beginning of the 18th century who arrived in the 18th century Paris receive an inheritance (“Sylvendir”), or immerses in an alarming atmosphere that accompanied the uprising of the Decembrists of 1825 in Russia (“fencing teacher”).

All these novels are exemplary works of non -casual classics, which at the same time entertains, and enlightens.
