5 najpiękniejszych powieści. MultiBook

Aleksander Dumas ojciec

Aleksander Dumas ojciec (18021870) francuski pisarz i dramaturg pozostawił po sobie ponad dwieście utworów. Największą sławę przyniosły mu napisane w latach 40. XIX stulecia powieści historyczne i przygodowe. W swojej prozie zręcznie dozował efekty zaskoczenia, grozy i komizmu. Jego postaci strojne, barwne, czasami nieco karykaturalne dawały złudzenie życia. Postaci historyczne przedstawiał w sposób stronniczy: kochał swych bohaterów bądź nienawidził. W multibooku znalazło się 5 najpoczytniejszych powieści autora, takich jak: Hrabia Monte Christo Trzej muszkieterowie Naszyjnik królowej Królowa Margot Karol Szalony
