Tentang eBook ini
‘The War of Women II’ follows the continuing rivalry between Nanon de Lartigues and Viscountess de Cambes, who have both fallen in love with the Baron de Canolles.
Unlike many of his other works, this book and its predecessor focus their attention on the two women, casting the male characters in secondary roles.
Set in 17th century France, the political unrest has deepened, and chaos threatens the monarchy. However, Baron de Canolles has more pressing matters on his mind.
A boisterous romp, packed with twists and turns, dastardly villains, and historical detail, this is a must for fans of Dumas’ swashbuckling stories.
Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, ‘King Henry III and his Courts.’ After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as ‘La Comtesse de Salisbury; Édouard III,’ and ‘Le Capitaine Paul.’ Many of Dumas’ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, starring ‘Lord of the Rings’ ́ Orlando Bloom, and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, starring ‘Superman’ star, Henry Cavill.
