Daughter of Regent

1719, France. Regency - the time of the first banknotes, feasts and pleasures. While the painful young man Louis XV teaches Latin and drinks mixtures, who is with health, regent Philip Orleans creates history. He creates as he knows how, without denying anything. In the morning business is in the evening of pleasure. The kingdom is spinning like a weather vane in the wind, but the regent is confident in its policy. The police know their job. The most restless intriguers languish in the Bastille. The internal enemies of France are in strong hands. But the Duke of Orleans is very mistaken. The terrible hydra lurked in the north of the kingdom and strives for only one - revenge.
The new volume of the illustrated collected works of Alexander Dumas includes the action -packed novel “Daughter of the Regent”, based on the history of the Breton conspiracy of the Marquis de Pinkallek
