A tulipa negra

Alexandre DumasNovember 1, 2013

FTD Educação

Romance de Alexandre Dumas, autor de Os três mosqueteiros. A ação se passa na Holanda, no século XVII, mais precisamente entre o início de 1672 e 15 de maio de 1673. Injustamente acusado de traição, Cornelius van Baerle, médico e cultivador de tulipas, é preso, apaixonando-se por Rosa, a bela filha do carcereiro. Esse amor quase impossível se entrelaça com outro feito também quase impossível: a produção de uma tulipa negra, desafio proposto pela Associação Hortícola de Haarlem, com o vultuoso prêmio de cem mil florins. Dumas entrelaça fatos históricos (como o assassinato dos irmãos De Witt e a especulação econômica em torno da tulipa), com uma história de amor e aventura. E quantas aventuras e reviravoltas ele consegue imaginar em torno do dia a dia de um prisioneiro! (FTD Educação

The Count of Monte Cristo

Alexandre Dumas

Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”

The Count Of Monte Cristo (Unabridged)

Alexandre Dumas

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by French author Alexandre Dumas (père). It is one of the author's most popular works, along with The Three Musketeers. Dumas completed the work in 1844. The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean, and in the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838. It is an adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy and forgiveness, it focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune and sets about getting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have devastating consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty. The book is considered a literary classic today. According to Luc Sante, "The Count of Monte Cristo has become a fixture of Western civilization's literature, as inescapable and immediately identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noah's flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood."
This English translation was originally published in 1846 by Chapman and Hall, London.
