Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Romances of Alexandre Dumas, Vol. 1: The Regency Romances Although Monsieur Dumas, in the explanatory note appended to these volumes, cites contemporary authority for the final catastrophe as having actually taken place, we are not, of course, to assume that any other portion of Bannière´s career, as traced in this story, is founded upon fact The novelist is himself responsible for the plot so far as it is concerned with the fortunes of Olympe and her ardent and headstrong lover. But the scenes which deal with the conspiracy (for it was nothing less) to corrupt young Louis XV., and force him to adopt a career of unredeemed profligacy, are founded upon indisputable evidence, adapted, of course, to the exigencies of the narrative. Indeed, the authority of contemporaneous memoirs may be cited in support of some of the most improbable details; for example, the queen´s coldness toward the king, and the various anecdotes concerning Mademoiselle de Charolais.
