From “La Reine Margot” to “Forty-five”, Alexandre Dumas’ visceral and stormy triptych makes its debut in “La Pléiade”

Two volumes of the collection bring together the writer's three novels featuring the last Valois and the bloody heart of the wars of religion. Sensual and risk-taking, Queen Marguerite, known as Margot, opens the fatal ball of a romantic trilogy that will be completed by “La Dame de Monsoreau” (1845-1846) and “Les Quarante- cinq” (1847-1848).
