'The Page of the Duke of Savoy Vol. I.' is the first volume in this work of fiction by the author of 'The Three Musketeers'. Alexandre Dumas was born in Villers-Cotterets, France in 1802. His parents were poor, but their heritage and good reputation - Alexandre's father had been a general in Napoleon's army - provided Alexandre with opportunities for good employment. In 1822, Dumas moved to Paris to work for future king Louis Philippe I in the Palais Royal. It was here that he began to write for magazines and the theatre. Dumas made a lot of money from his writing, but he was almost constantly penniless as a result of his extravagant lifestyle and love of women. In 1851 he fled his creditors to Belgium, and then Russia, and then Italy, not returning to Paris until 1864. Dumas died in Puys, France, in 1870, at the age of 68."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often referred to as the sequel to ‘The Two Dianas,’ ‘The Page of the Duke of Savoy’ tells the story of the Duke of Savoy and his mysterious page. The Duke decides to fight the French at the Battle of St. Quentin, with potentially disastrous consequences. In typical Dumas style, this story is rife with political intrigue, double identities, and swashbuckling swordplay. However, at its heart, this is a historical romance which shows the lengths people will go to for love. A real page-turner for fans of Dumas and those who want an introduction to his work. Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, ‘King Henry III and his Courts.’ After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as ‘La Comtesse de Salisbury; Édouard III,’ and ‘Le Capitaine Paul.’ Many of Dumas’ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, starring ‘Lord of the Rings’ ́ Orlando Bloom, and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, starring ‘Superman’ star, Henry Cavill.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Page of the Duke of Savoy, Vol. 1 Finally, after the death of Charles the Bold, Mary of Burgundy, the last heiress of the gigantic name and im mense possessions of her father, made, on the day she mar ried Maximilian, son of the Emperor Frederick III., both name and possessions part and parcel of the domains of the house of Austria, in which they were swallowed up, as a. River is swallowed up in the ocean. It was a great loss for France, for Artois is a fine and rich province. Consequently, for three years, with varying fortunes and unforeseen results, Henry II. And Charles V. Have been Struggling face to face, and foot to foot, the one to regain, the other to keep it. During the furious war in which the son encountered the old enemy of the father, and, like the father, was to have his Marignano and Pavia, each had his good and bad days, his victories and defeats. France had seen the army of Charles V. Driven in disorder from the Siege of Metz, and had taken Marienbourg, Bouvines and Dinant; the Empire, on the other hand, had stormed Therouanne and Hesdin, and, furious at its defeat before Metz, had burned the one, and levelled the other to the ground.

PART II. Continued. CHAPTER I. ON THE DOUBLE ADVANTAGE OF SPEAKING THE PICARDY DIALECT. Up to the present we have directed our attention solely to those within the beleaguered town; it is now time for us to visit the tents of its besiegers. While Coligny and his staff were making a tour of the walls, for the purpose of seeing to the means of defence of the town, another group of men, equally important, were reconnoitring its outer defences, in order to discover the best means of attack. This group consisted of Emmanuel Philibert, Count Egmont, Count Horn, Count Schwarzbourg, Count Mansfeld, and Dukes Eric and Ernest of Brunswick. Following the staff was another group of officers, among whom, careful of naught except the life and honor of his well-beloved Emmanuel, rode our old friend SciancaFerro. By the express orders of Emmanuel, Leona had remained, with the rest of the ducal household, at Cambrai. As the result of his recomioissance, Emmanuel had come to the conclusion that St. Quentin, defended by VOL. II. -- 1 crumbling walls, and with a weakened garrison and insufficient artillery, could not hold out more than five or six days; a message to this effect had been sent by him to Philip II., whom prudence had detained at Cambrai. Moreover, six or seven leagues, at the most, separated the two towns; and if Emmanuel had chosen the royal palace for Leona's residence, the reason is obvious: the necessity of communicating orally with Philip being likely to bring from time to time the generalissimo of the Spanish army to Cambrai, the latter had counted on the fact that each of these journeys which he would have to make thither would be an opportunity of seeing Leona For her part, Leona had consented to this...
