The Black Tulip (Classic Reprint) by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

Excerpt from The Black Tulip Alexandre Dumas, or to give him his full name, Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, was born at Villers-Cotterets, dep. Aisne, July 1803. His youth was somewhat idle and irregular. In 1823 he went to Paris, where he was employed for some time as a clerk in the bureau of the Due d'Orleans. Literature, however, lured from the drudgery of a clerical calling, and fame came to him in 1829, when he published "Henri Trois et sa Cour." He was a most prodigious worker, and his output during the ten years between 1844 and 1854 is without parallel in literature except, perhaps, the wonderful first decade of the author of "Waverley." "La Tulipe Noire," which is translated in the following pages, was published in 1850. In spite of the vast wealth which his literary labours brought him, Dumas's career ended in poverty. He left Paris for the last time with only two napoleons in his possession. Retiring to his son's villa at Dieppe, he died there on 5th December 1870.

The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

The Black Tulip By Alexandre Dumas Classic Novels The story begins with a historical event — the 1672 lynching of the Dutch Grand Pensionary (roughly equivalent to a modern Prime Minister) Johan de Witt and his brother Cornelis, by a wild mob of their own countrymen — considered by many as one of the most painful episodes in Dutch history, described by Dumas with a dramatic intensity. The main plot line, involving fictional characters, takes place in the following eighteen months; only gradually does the reader understand its connection with the killing of the de Witt brothers. The city of Haarlem, Netherlands, has set a prize of ƒ100,000 to the person who can grow a black tulip, sparking competition between the country's best gardeners to win the money, honour and fame. Only the city's oldest citizens remember the Tulip Mania thirty years prior, and the citizens throw themselves into the competition. The young and bourgeois Cornelius van Baerle has almost succeeded but is suddenly thrown into the Loevestein prison. There he meets the prison guard's beautiful daughter Rosa, who will be his comfort and help, and eventually become his rescuer. The novel was originally published in three volumes in 1850 as La Tulipe Noire by Baudry (Paris).

The Black Tulip [Christmas Summary Classics] by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

Christmas Summary Classics This series contains summary of Classic books such as Emma, Arne, Arabian Nights, Pride and prejudice, Tower of London, Wealth of Nations etc. Each book is specially crafted after reading complete book in less than 30 pages. One who wants to get joy of book reading especially in very less time can go for it. About The Book The Black Tulip "The Black Tulip," published in 1850, was the last of Alexandre Dumas' more famous stories, and ranks deservedly high among the short novels of its prolific author. Dumas visited Holland in May, 1849, in order to be present at the coronation of William III. at Amsterdam, and according to Flotow, the composer, it was the king himself who told Dumas the story of "The Black Tulip," and mentioned that none of the author's romances were concerned with the Dutch. Dumas, however, never gave any credit to this anecdote, and others have alleged that Paul Lacroix, the bibliophile, who was assisting Dumas with his novels at that time, is responsible for the plot. The question can never be answered, for who can disentangle the work of Dumas from that of his army of helpers? A feature of "The Black Tulip" is that in it is the bulb, and not a human being, that is the real centre of interest. The fate of the bulb is made of first importance, and the fortunes of Cornelius van Baerle, the tulip fancier, of Boxtel, and of Rosa, the gaoler's daughter, exciting though they are, take second place.

The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas Pdf

The Black Tulip Is a work of historical fiction that mixes actual events in the Netherlands in the 17th century with fictional characters and events. The first third of the novel provides a thorough explanation of Dutch politics and culture--a stark difference from many of Dumas' other works, which launch into breakneck action from the very first page. Midway through the novel, the plot adopts the fast-paced style for which Dumas is well-known, and does not let up until the very end.
