Apie šią el. knygą
The Companions of Jehu were formed in the Lyon region of France in April 1795 to hunt down Jacobins implicated in the Reign of Terror. It is possible that they were founded by The Marquis de Besignan, who also founded royalist underground groups in Forez and Dauphiné with the Prince of Condé in 1796.[5] Their victims are believed to have numbered at least in the hundreds. They were made famous by the 1857 novel The Companions of Jehu by Alexandre Dumas which presented a highly romanticised account of them. (Wikipedia)
Apie autorių
Alexandre Dumas, born on July 24, 1802, in Villers-Cotterêts, France, is a towering figure in literary history, renowned for his adventure novels that have captivated readers for generations. The son of a mixed-race general in Napoleon's army, Dumas's heritage and personal experiences profoundly influenced his worldview and writings. His father, Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, was a hero of the French Revolutionary Wars, and his legacy of bravery and resilience echoed in Alexandre's works.Dumas's literary career began in the 1820s, and he quickly became a prolific writer, producing plays, novels, and travel books. His most famous works, "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," are celebrated for their gripping narratives, complex characters, and exploration of themes like justice, honor, and betrayal. These novels have not only stood the test of time but have also inspired countless adaptations in film, television, and theater.Despite his success, Dumas's life was not without controversy. He faced criticism for his extravagant lifestyle and financial mismanagement, which often left him in debt. Additionally, his mixed-race background subjected him to racial prejudice, yet he remained a vocal advocate for equality and abolitionism, using his platform to challenge societal norms.Dumas's influence extends beyond literature; his innovative storytelling techniques and serialized publications paved the way for modern popular fiction. Contemporary writers and creators continue to draw inspiration from his dynamic plots and vivid characters. Alexandre Dumas's legacy is a testament to his enduring impact on the literary world and his role as a pioneering figure who transcended the barriers of his time.
