This 2nd volume of the Marie Antoinette Romances continues the intrigues of "Balsamo, The Magician" and adds to them the schemes of philosophers and the stirrings of revolution. Balsamo (based on the real Count Alessandro di Cagliostro) carries on his occult tactics to weaponize the state secrets that he gained in the previous volume. A serious romance and illness takes root in the court of King Louis XV, convincing one of the leading philosophic minds of the era, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, that “the breath of heaven will blast an age and a monarchy.” - Summary by jvanstan

It is easy to see how converging sociopolitical challenges can threaten the monarchy, but how can ...

The Queen's Necklace is the 3rd novel in the Marie Antoinette ...

Charles Dickens ist ein Könner der Unterhaltung mit Tiefgang, Humor und kritischem Engagement, sein Roman „Oliver Twist", vielfach verfilmt, bleibt ein Standardwerk der Moderne. Das gilt auch für das naturalistische Drama „Fräulein Julie" von August Strindberg aus dem Jahr 1888, in dem der Schwede den Sprengstoff des Herzens und den Sprengstoff des Klassenkampfes auf der Bühne explodieren lässt.

Der junge Seemann Edmond Dantès kehrt mit der Pharao, einem Schiff des Reeders Morrel, am 24. Februar 1815 nach Marseille zurück. Dantès, der an Bord Erster Offizier ist, genießt die Wertschätzung Morrels und soll zum Kapitän befördert werden. Auch sein privates Glück scheint perfekt: Er liebt die schöne Katalanin Mercédès, die Hochzeit des Paares ist beschlossene Sache. In seiner Unerfahrenheit kümmert es Dantès wenig, dass seine glücklichen Lebensumstände zunehmend die Missgunst von Menschen in seiner Umgebung erregen – noch weniger ahnt er, dass er sich angreifbar gemacht hat...

Neun Jahre lang bereitet Dantès seinen Rachefeldzug vor. Er erkundet die Lebensumstände der Verhassten bis ins kleinste Detail und entdeckt dabei dank unglaublicher Zufälle weitere von ihnen begangene Schandtaten. Alles scheint mit allem schicksalhaft verwoben, sodass sich Dantès schließlich kaum noch als Rächer in eigener Sache sieht, sondern eher als Werkzeug der Vorsehung oder personifizierte Strafe Gottes. Er hat sich eine neue Identität geschaffen: als Graf von Monte Christo, ein düster-grimmiger Aristokrat von unermesslichem Reichtum, vollendeten Manieren und rätselhafter Herkunft.
