The Prussian Terror

About this book

This vintage book contains Alexandre Dumas's 1916 historical novella, "The Prussian Terror". Set in 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War, this exciting and masterfully-retold story is highly recommended for fans of the historical fiction, and constitutes a must-read for lovers of Dumas's seminal work. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his lavish lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
