"The Countess de Charny" is a historical adventure novel by the unrivaled master of the genre, Alexandre Dumas, author of "The Three Musketeers," "Queen Margot," and many other world-famous works. The novel's events unfold against the backdrop of one of the most turbulent periods in French history—the French Revolution.

Parisian high society is confronted by the fury of the mob; the old order collapses, giving way to a new, bloody world where brother turns against brother, and those who try to preserve honor and dignity in the chaos of change face destruction...

The maelstrom of dramatic cataclysms that engulfs the life of Countess Andrea de Charny draws in many real historical figures, including Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, Princess Lamballe, Count Cagliostro, Mirabeau, Lafayette, as well as characters by Dumas, already familiar to readers from the novels "Joseph Balsamo," "The Queen's Necklace," and "Ange Pitou."

The novel is published with wonderful illustrations by Stanislav Gudecek, supplemented by works by French illustrators of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
