| Summary |
"Dans la Hollande du XVIIe siècle, alors que Guillaume d'Orange s'empare du pouvoir, un honnête horticulteur de province est accusé de trahison. Malgré son emprisonnement, le jeune homme tente de poursuivre son rêve : donner naissance à la tulipe noire. Aidé par Rosa, la propre fille du geôlier, il combattra les jalousies et méchancetés du monde extérieur pour mener à bien son entreprise. Ce roman original, presque poétique, se distingue des aventures tumultueuses des Trois Mousquetaires et du Comte de Monte-Cristo. Dans une sorte de huis-clos, l'auteur dresse un portrait vivant de ses personnages et des passions qui les agitent." -- goodreads.com |

"Cornelius von Baerle, a respectable tulip-grower, lives only to cultivate the elusive black tulip and win a magnificent prize for its creation. But after his powerful godfather is assassinated, the unwitting Cornelius becomes caught up in deadly political intrigue and is falsely accused of high treason by a bitter rival. Condemned to life imprisonment, his only comfort is Rosa, the jailer's beautiful daughter, and together they concoct a plan to grow the black tulip in secret. Dumas' last major historical novel is a tale of romantic love, jealousy and obsession, interweaving historical events surrounding the brutal murders of two Dutch statesman in 1672 with the phenomenon of tulipomania that gripped seventeenth-century Holland." -- goodreads.com |
