Description

The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas

Superb Folio Society Edition of Alexandre Dumas’ historical novel of romance, intrigue and horticultural obsession centred around the aftermath of the murder of the Dutch Grand Pensionary. 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.
