The Companions of Jehu by Alexandre Dumas

This book contains Alexandre Dumas’s 1894 novel, “The Companions of Jehu”.

Set during Napoleon’s ascent to power in nineteenth century France, “The Companions of Jehu” tells the story of a group of young aristocrats that become highwaymen  – all in order to fund a restoration of the monarchy. Packed with tragedy, love, and derring-do, this exciting historical tale constitutes a must-read for fans of Dumas’s work, and would make for a great addition to any bookshelf.

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.
