Celebrated Crimes - Alexandre Dumas - Book 1 - Book 18: Volume 8: Part 1: The Marquise de Brinvilliers: 1630-1675

Title: Celebrated Crimes, Volume 8: The Marquise de Brinvilliers: 1630-1675

Overview: From 1839 to 1841, Dumas, with the assistance of several friends, compiled Celebrated Crimes, an eight-volume collection of essays on famous criminals and crimes from European history. He featured Beatrice Cenci, Martin Guerre, Cesare, and Lucrezia Borgia, as well as more recent events and criminals, including the cases of the alleged murderers Karl Ludwig Sand and Antoine François Desrues, who were executed. Dumas's 'Celebrated Crimes' was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language--has minced no words--to describe 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.
