Joan of Naples 1343 - 1382 (Celebrated Crimes Series)

by Alexandre Dumas

Overview

This antiquarian book contains ALexandre Dumas's work "Joan of Naples". It was first published as part of his eight-volume series "Celebrated Crimes" (1839-40) and recounts the murder of Joanna of Naples's first husband, Prince Andrew. A fantastically entertaining and engrossing work on a historical crime, Joan of Naples is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Dumas's seminal work, and would make for a worthy 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 been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
