I really was not with it at all for the first four chapters - I have an aversion to politics on a cellular level, but once the romance kicked in, it was a wonderful tale. I truly enjoyed the intrigue and the race to produce the Black Tulip! ( ) Cornelius van Baerle, joven botánico holandés, recibe una carta de su padrino De Witt, partidario de la República y ajusticiado por sus rivales monárquicos, en la que le envía unos documentos comprometedores. Cornelius es detenido. Gracias a Guillermo de Orange, le conmutan la pena de muerte por la de cadena perpetua. Lo único que podrá liberarle será el cultivo de un raro y codiciado tulipán negro. 3.5 rounded up. Nothing makes me feel like a youngster again quite like reading Dumas. He is a consummate storyteller and when you are reading the story is everything, you are immersed in it, you are suffering the confinement and the injustice and the suspense. The romance is necessary, but not terribly realistic, but then Dumas’ strength is action and it is his male characters who seize and keep your interest. Nobody watched Errol Flynn movies to see the fainting heroine...she was his prop. This degree of fervor over a tulip might seem extreme, but it is, in fact, based on the history of the time. Holland had tulip fever that amounted to a mania. Dumas certainly put this to good use in his plot development and the creation of the fanatic, Boxtel. A fun read for me and just right for reading between tasks at this time of year.
I found this book surprisingly good, and an excellent vindication of literacy, thanks to Librivox. I almost didn’t bother with it because it seemed like a sappy romance at first, and about flowers! And this particular reader, Ezwa from Belgium, is exquisite to listen to. Ingår i förlagsserienDean's Classics (48) El País.
