The Page of the Duke of Savoy Vol. II. by Alexandre Dumas

This is the second volume of Alexandre Dumas’s 1891 novel, “The page of the Duke of Savoy”.

It is the fictionalised tale of a woman who is forced to impersonate a man – and a page no less, in order to remain by the side of her beloved Duke. A tense marriage of mystery and romance, this masterful story will appeal to lovers of historical fiction, and constitutes a must-read for anyone who has read and enjoyed Dumas’s work.

Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including “The Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo”. Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have since been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over two hundred motion pictures.

Many vintage texts such as ‘The Page of the Duke of Savoy’ are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
