the black tulip alexandre dumas

First published in 1850, The Black Tulip is a historical tale and a piece of Romantic poetry by Alexandre Dumas, Sr. The lynching of the Dutch Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt and his brother Cornelis in 1672, who were regarded as rebels against the stadtholder William III, marks the beginning of the story. A silent 1921 Dutch-UK co-production directed by Maurits Binger and Frank Richardson appears to have been the first movie version. In a well-liked 1937 UK rendition of the book, Alex Bryce starred Patrick Waddington as Cornelius Van Baerle. In August 1956, a five-part BBC miniseries starring Douglas Wilmer appeared. In September 1970, a second British miniseries aired. A bowdlerized version of the narrative was used to make a 50-minute children s animated film in 1988 by an Australian Burbank production company. Kit Goldstein wrote a musical adaptation in 2004, and it had its debut in February 2005 at Union College. The book was first released by Baudry in three volumes in 1850 under the name La Tulipe Noire (Paris). The same author s The Count of Monte Cristo has a story that is comparable to this one.

After a childhood of extreme poverty, he took work as a clerk, and met the renowned actor Talma, and began to write short pieces for the theatre. After twenty years of success as a playwright, Dumas turned his hand to novel-writing, and penned such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), La Reine Margot (1845) and The Black Tulip (1850). After enduring a short period of bankruptcy, Dumas began to travel extensively, still keeping up a prodigious output of journalism, short fiction and novels. He fathered an illegitimate child, also called Alexandre, who would grow up to write La Dame aux Camélias. He died in Dieppe in 1870.

Alexandre Dumas nebyl historik, ale jeho romány mají spolehlivý historický podklad. Francouzi v nich často četli mnohem více o dějinách své země a o spojitostech jednotlivých historických etap dějin Evropy, než v učebnicích a odborných dílech. Jeho udivující vypravěčský dar dovedl dokonale vylíčit vzrušený francouzský svět v průběhu mnoha století a v rozličných společenských poměrech, rozvinout jej v pestrých podrobnostech oživených lidmi všech stavů a charakterů.

Audiokniha: Alexandre Dumas starší byl vypravěčským mistrem. Jeho romány jsou nadčasové, stále čtenářsky atraktivní. Je méně známé, že nepsal pouze fikce, ale vytvořil také několik životopisů skutečných historických osobností. Jeho zřejmě nejznámější biografií je životopis Napoleona Bonaparta. Slavný spisovatel se s ním jako malý chlapec dvakrát osobně setkal. Jeho otec s ním jako republikánský generál bojoval při italském tažení a v Egyptě. Dumasův „Napoleon“ je barvitým a napínavým čtením. Popisuje císařovo dětství, vojenské počátky, armádní tažení i nejslavnější války. Vrcholem biografie je popis tří známých bitev: u Slavkova, Borodina a u Waterloo. „Napoleon“ není suchopárným vypravováním se záplavou zbytečných letopočtů. Jde o strhující knihu zasvěceného vypravěče, který Bonaparta kritizuje i obdivuje. Dumasovo mistrovství stvořilo portrét muže, na jehož osud už svět neměl nikdy zapomenout.

Audiokniha: Generacemi milovaná klasika v audioknižním zpracování kompletního šestidílného románu Alexandra Dumase. Osudovou souhrou nepříjemných náhod je mladý lodní důstojník Edmond Dantes bez soudu uvězněn v krutém žaláři tvrze If. Po čtrnácti letech zoufalství a beznaděje, mu zabliká světélko naděje. Po smrti jediného přítele abbého Farii se převlečený do jeho rubáše nechá hodit do moře. Útěk se podaří a Dantes naplánuje pomstu všem, kteří mu ublížili. Hrabě Monte Christo je spolu se Třemi mušketýry jednou z nejvýznamnějších a nejznámějších Dumasových knih, ve které autor mistrovsky vylíčil barvitou historii Francie první poloviny devatenáctého století a zároveň kriticky poukázal na nešvary tehdejší společnosti, které jsou od těch dnešních téměř k nerozeznání.

Audiokniha: Jeden za všechny, všichni za jednoho. Jednoduše pro potěchu nás všech! D’Artagnan není žádný vesnický jeliman, nýbrž hrdý syn Gaskoňska, což hodlá stvrdit službou v Paříži. Už na cestě do centra dění ho však kordem popichuje jakýsi nádiva s titulem, kterému to ještě vytmaví. A než stihne být přijat do gardy královských mušketýrů pana de Tréville, zvládne urazit i své budoucí spolubojovníky a vyvolat bitku – samosebou cvičně, aby se ze tří stali čtyři. Jeho noví bratři ve zbrani Athos, Porthos a Aramis naštěstí krotí mladíkův zápal ve prospěch celku. S neméně chladnou rozvahou však intrikují též kardinál Richelieu, jeho spojka milady de Winter a poskok Rochefort, kteří by v elegantně zahnívající Francii L. P. 1625 rádi tahali za nitky autokracie po svém. Pouze královna Anna, zaláskovaná do úhlavního nepřítele říše číhajícího za La Manche, si zahrává s přívěsky i s trpělivostí odtažitého chotě Ludvíka XIII. Ples v Louvru je na spadnutí, a ona vzácné klenoty věnovala miláčku Buckinghamovi na znamení horoucích citů! Což pro její mušketýry znamená jediné: spěšně je vyzvednout a dopravit zpět bez ohledu na úklady, jež na hrdiny číhají v šálivě idylické krajině raného novověku. První polovina nejslavnější romantické epopeje oslavuje oslavuje kuráž, dvornost i obětavost. Za to vše se sluší bít. Nuže, taste, pánové! V klasice, která nestárne ani po sto osmdesáti letech! „Spadnete do toho až po uši. Trysková jízda. A pochopitelně koňmo!“ – Le Parisien. „Báječné historky o neohrožených hrdinech, velezáludných krasavicích i protivenstvích vylíčených se žádoucí mírou prášilovského chvastounství. A to vše z první ruky od mistra, jemuž v oboru není rovno.“ – The Guardian. „Stovky historických romancí jednají s barokními šavlemi a kordy úplně stejně bezhlavě, nicméně Dumas se odlišil tím, že k potyčkám přilévá i potoky bezstarostnosti. A právě sklon k ležérní potutelnosti blížící se až frašce autorovi zajistil místo na čtenářských nebesích.“ – The New York Times. „Historický román i romantický příběh se všemi atributy, jaké jen tento žánr může mít.“ – Literární kavárna.
