Count Cagliostro is one of the most enigmatic figures in history. Having traveled all over the world, visited all the capitals of Europe, this magician was able to bewitch the most influential and noble people of his time. Cagliostro was talked about at every corner: that he personally knows the great sorcerers of the past, that he is able to communicate with the spirits, to turn base metals into gold and as if there were no secrets that would not have been revealed to this amazing man (who is also damn good looking).
Who was Count Cagliostro really? The greatest adventurer or a true aristocrat of spirit, an ordinary swindler and seducer or an adept of a secret order?
The brilliant novel by Alexandre Dumas gives an answer to these questions, not only telling the story of Count Cagliostro, but also drawing a broad panorama of the life of the high society of France on the eve of the Great Revolution.
For the first time in Russia, the book is accompanied by numerous illustrations by the remarkable Czech artist Frantisek Hornik.
