Synopsis "La Reina Margot (in Spanish)"

"La reina Margot" constituye el primer volumen de una trilogía centrada en las guerras de religión en las que se vio envuelta Francia durante la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, y que completan "La dama de Monsereau" y "Los cuarenta y cinco". En ella Dumas retrata con maestría las intrigas de la corte francesa utilizando como escenario de partida los esponsales de la infanta Margarita o Margot de Valois y uno de los episodios más sangrientos de la historia: la matanza de la Noche de San Bartolomé, que culminó con el asesinato en masa de hugonotes. La entonces joven infanta es la protagonista de la novela, quien atrapada en las ambiciones de su madre, Catalina, y su hermano, Francisco, se verá envuelta en una turbulenta historia de amor con el soldado protestante La Mole. Una obra que ha dejado una imagen imborrable de la reina Margot en la que mito, leyenda y realidad son indistinguibles.

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.
