Présentation The Black Tulip de Alexandre Dumas Format Broché
- Livre Histoire
Résumé :
After the conviction of two prominent politicians for sedition, Dumas?s story focuses on the trial of an accused collaborator: one Cornelius van Baerle, whose only wish is to grow his tulips in peace. His crowning achievement is set to be the impossible black tulip, a feat worth one hundred thousand guilders from the Horticultural Society of Haarlem, but before he can sprout the bulb he?s imprisoned with only the daughter of the prison warden to give him a glimmer of hope. Set a few decades after the tulip mania of the 1630s, Alexandre Dumas?s novel opens with a historical incident: the mob killing of Johan and Cornelius de Witt, then high up in the government. Dumas successfully balances the romance of the protagonist?s love for both the heroine and his precious tulip with a quest to prove his innocence and thwart the schemes of his rival tulip-fancier Boxtel. The Black Tulip was originally published in three volumes in French in 1850; presented here is the 1902 translation by publisher P. F. Collier & Son.
Sommaire:
The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas is set against the backdrop of political turmoil in 17th century Holland. The narrative begins with the imprisonment of Cornelius de Witt, who is falsely accused of plotting against William of Orange. His brother, John de Witt, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, attempts to save him from the wrath of an enraged populace. The story unfolds with the brothers' desperate attempt to escape the clutches of a mob incited by political adversaries. As they navigate through the streets of The Hague, they encounter various obstacles, including closed city gates and hostile crowds. Despite their efforts, the brothers are ultimately captured, highlighting the themes of political betrayal and the volatility of public opinion. The novel intricately weaves historical events with fictional elements, exploring the tension between personal loyalty and political duty. Dumas masterfully portrays the de Witt brothers as tragic figures caught in the crossfire of a nation in upheaval, emphasizing the fragility of justice and the perilous nature of power....
