The Countess de Saint Geran by Alexandre Dumas
This book contains Alexandre Dumas’s historical work, “The Countess de Saint Geran”.
“The Countess de Saint Geran” was first published as part of his eight-volume series ‘Celebrated Crimes’ (1839-1840), which contained a collection of semi-fictionalised historical accounts that dealt with some of the most shocking and noteworthy criminal cases in European history. This thrilling and masterfully-retold tale is highly recommended for fans of Dumas’s work, and would make for a worthy addition to any collection.
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. The works of Alexandre Dumas have since been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over two hundred motion pictures.
Many vintage texts such as “The Countess de Saint Geran” 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.
