Alexandre Dumas: Queen Margot

"Queen Margot" is one of Alexandre Dumas' most famous novels; it is as widely read and beloved around the world as "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo." The novel is set in the late 16th century, during the religious wars between Protestants (Huguenots) and Catholics. To restore peace, the French princess and Catholic, Margaret of Valois, is married to Henry of Navarre, the leader of the Huguenots, despite her existing love affair with the Duke of Guise. The subsequent events unfold rapidly, as is typical of Alexandre Dumas' books: thrilling adventures, palace intrigues, romantic dramas, and the bloody massacre of St. Bartholomew's Day—arguably the most stirring description of this fateful event in all of world literature.
This edition reproduces the complete set of illustrations for the novel "Queen Margot" by the distinguished Czech artist Stanislav Hudeček (1872-1947).
