Captain Paul, E-bok

Chained up in the hold of a French warship, Lusignan’s only hope of escape rests with his captor - Captain Paul. A man with a mysterious past, Captain Paul is transporting Lusignan to exile in the West Indies. Little does he know that his mission is a sham. His prisoner is an innocent man, framed because he fell in love with a Count s daughter. Once the truth is revealed, Paul and Lusignan return to France, determined to seek justice.Inspired by the real life of American Revolutionary War hero John Paul Jones, Captain Paul is a rollicking melodrama, packed with action and romance. A fine precursor to Dumas’ later classics, it s especially recommended for fans of naval adventures, like C.S. Forester’s Hornblower series. Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) was a hugely popular 19th Century French writer. Born of mixed French and Haitian heritage, Dumas first rose to prominence in Paris as a playwright, but later gained international fame with his historical fiction. Often co-authored with other writers, these stories wove together swashbuckling adventure, romance, and real events from France’s past. Among the best known are The Three Musketeers , and its sequels Twenty Years After , and Le Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later . Set across four decades, this trilogy follows the rise of the dashing D’Artagnan—from hot-headed soldier to trusted captain under Louis XIV.Dumas’ other novels include The Count of Monte Cristo and The Black Tulip . His works have been adapted into more than 200 movies, including The Man in the Iron Mask starring Leonardo DiCaprio. EPUB3: Reflowable
