The Forty-Five Guardsmen

SHEBA BLAKE PUBLISHING
COP $ 14.900

A true sequel to "La Dame de Monsoreau." It concerns the revenge of Diane de Méridor upon the Duc d'Anjou for his base betrayal of Bussy d'Amboise. Historically it commences with the execution of Salcède and the arrival of the Forty-Five at Paris, and deals with the Guise intrigues, the campaign of Anjou in Flanders and his death. Period 1584-85. Maquet was again the collaborator. During the fête held at Villers-Cotterets in 1902 the original MS. of this romance was exhibited, half being in the hand of Dumas père, and the remainder, the latter moiety, in that of his son, with a note signed by this latter to the effect that his father, being confined to his bed by sickness, had dictated it to the younger man. Yet in face of this it has been repeatedly affirmed that Maquet finished it alone.

Alexandre Dumas

Autor

Nació el 24 de julio de 1802 en Villers-Cotterêts, Aisne, Francia. Su educación fue más basada en las lecturas, especialmente de aventuras de los siglos XVI y XVII, que realizó con profusión mientras trabajó con el Duque de Orleans, en París. Era también un asiduo concurrente a las representaciones teatrales y sus primeros escritos fueron obras de teatro. Fue un escritor muy prolífico, publicó alrededor de 1.200 volúmenes, aunque se supone que muchas de ellas fueron escritas en colaboración con otros escritores menores. Obtuvo por sus publicaciones enormes ingresos, pero apenas alcanzaban a pagar sus gastos, lo que lo llevó a terminar sus días prácticamente en bancarrota. Murió el 5 de diciembre de 1870.
