Olympe de Cleves (Volumes I & II) from the 'Romances of Alexandre Dumas' series. Illustrated. Olympe de Cleves is one of Dumas's great novels which fell into oblivion for a time: it is the novel of mad love, of exacerbated passion which leads to all ends, the novel where theatre and life come together. constantly give the answer. Louis XV, who is twenty years old, is bored. He needs a mistress. Whoever gets it for him will have control over the heart and reason of the young king. The Duke of Richelieu leads the game of intriguers. Against this historical background, two flamboyant heroes, whose existence is attested by numerous documents, love each other, tear each other apart, leave each other, meet again: the handsome Banniere who deserted the Jesuits for the stage, tender, impulsive, unhappy , threatened with discovery, burning with love for the marvellous actress Olympe de Cleves, admirable portrait of a free woman, playing her roles in the theatre as superbly as she is sincere in that of a lover - the most complex and the most accomplished of the female figures created by Alexandre Dumas. From the Comedie-Francaise to the Charenton asylum, Dumas, once again ruined, displays the best of his genius. Green cloth binding with gilt lettering. Ex Libris label inside front cover (please see images) Internally good condition, tanning to page edges. Volume I - 525 pages Volume II - 512 pages
