Celebrated Crimes: Volume One by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

Between 1839 and 1841, with significant help from other writers, Alexandre Dumas wrote and published 18 essays about some of the most famous crimes in Europe. Presented in stark and often graphic detail, these included some of the current, and therefore popular cases of Dumas' day. Originally collected in eight volumes, and later in ten, these have been reformatted into two volumes to make them more affordable to own . . . but not a single word of the original text has been changed. For those who study history, true crime, or Western literature, these books represent a unique opportunity to experience crime and criminals from the 19th century perspective.

Celebrated Crimes, Vol. I by Alexandre Dumas, Fiction, Short Stories, Literary Collections by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

In this first volume of his CELEBRATED CRIMES, Dumas chronicles the annals of the Borgias and the Cenci. The "crimes" of the Borgias are legend; the name of the noted and notorious Florentine family has become a synonym for intrigue and violence, and yet the Borgias have not been without stanch defenders in history. The Cenci are nearly as ill-famed. The beautiful Beatrice Cenci -- celebrated in the painting of Guido, the sixteenth century romance of Guerrazi, and the poetic tragedy of Shelley, not to mention numerous succeeding works inspired by her hapless fate -- will always remain a shadowy figure and one of infinite pathos.(Vol. I of VIII)

Celebrated Crimes, Vol. VI by Alexandre Dumas, Fiction, True Crime, Literary Collections by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

In this sixth volume of Dumas's Celebrated Crimes contains, among other material, the famous "Man in the Iron Mask." This unsolved puzzle of history was later incorporated by Dumas in one of the D'Artagnan Romances a section of the Vicomte de Bragelonne, to which it gave its name. But in this later form, the true story of this singular man doomed to wear an iron visor over his features during his entire lifetime could only be treated episodically. While as a special subject in the Crimes, Dumas indulges his curiosity, and that of his reader, to the full. Hugo's unfinished tragedy, Les Jumeaux, is on the same subject; as also are others by Fournier, in French, and Zschokke, in German. This book was not written for children. Dumas has minced no words in describing the violent scenes of a violent time. In some instances facts appear distorted out of their true perspective, and in others the author makes unwarranted charges. The careful, mature reader -- for whom the books are intended -- will recognize and allow for this fact.

Celebrated Crimes, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

Excerpt from Celebrated Crimes, Vol. 1 During the night of the fifteenth and sixteenth J anu ary of the year 1343, the people of Naples were aroused with a start from their peaceful slumbers by the ringing of the bells of the three hundred churches of that thrice-blessed capital. In the general confusion caused by this sudden awakening, the first thought which came to everyone's mind was that the whole city was on fire, or that a hostile army had landed under cover of the night, and was putting the citizens to the sword. But the doleful, intermittent clangor of the bells, which broke the silence at long but regular intervals, and called upon the faithful to repeat the prayers for the dying, soon convinced the worthy burghers that no disaster to their beloved city was threatened, but that their king was at the point of death.

Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references.
