About this book
One of the most acclaimed writers of historical fiction turns his focus to the French Revolution. Taking the Bastile is one in a series of novels in which Dumas works his unique magic in retelling one of the most volatile periods of social upheaval in European history, weaving the tale of plucky orphan Pitou with the political events that were unfolding on a grand scale.
