Synopsis "Il Cavaliere di Maison-Rouge (in Italian)"

Un uomo, un monarchico, il Cavaliere di Maison Rouge, perdutamente e devotamente innamorato della regina Maria Antonietta, tenta più volte di salvarla dalla prigionia. Appartiene al suo entourage aristocratico una donna pura, Geneviève Dixmer. Un incontro fortuito fa nascere un amore impossibile tra questa donna e Maurice Lindey, un eroico repubblicano incaricato di custodire la regina, il quale finirà per dare un involontario supporto ai tentativi del Cavaliere. Il finale vede salire in primo piano un grande protagonista di questo romanzo: la ghigliottina. Siamo nel 1793 e Dumas non manca di richiamarsi agli avvenimenti salienti di quell'annus horribilis per farceli conoscere alla sua maniera, divertendo.

Alexandre Dumas is one of the most prolific and popular authors from France. He was born in 1802 in the city of Villers-Cotterets, and soon moved to Paris to work as a secretary for the Duke of Orléans. There, he completed his education on his own and began to take an interest in writing.
He started by writing plays, and then moved on to poems and long stories. However, his real success did not come until 1844, the year he released the work that would catapult him to fame: The Three Musketeers. The serial publication of this novel brought him a huge sum of money, but it also meant countless hours of work, many collaborators, and the production of up to eighty installments to meet the growing public demand.
After the publication of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas amassed a great fortune. However, his hedonistic nature led him to squander all he had earned and he soon found himself forced to exile in Belgium to escape his French creditors.
The Count of Monte Cristo, the pinnacle of the author's narrative, is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time.
