Mysterious doctor

The sultry summer of 1785 is about to give the first spark the future grandiose fire, a scandal with the necklace of Queen Mary-Antoinette, a frivolous Austria, who decided to let a whole state in the wind, will stir up a scandal. But the capital’s affairs do not really touch the provincials. They have their own policy, their secrets and intrigues. In the town of Arzanton, for example, more attention is paid to the inhabitants of the dilapidated shack, standing on the outskirts,-a hermit doctor, whom some consider the sorcerer, others-a charlatan, and his black cat, who, most likely, is not a cat at all. The old maid-humping servant serves them, and protects-a flock of noisy sparrows. But there is another source of fear and curiosity in the vicinity of Arzanton - Shazle Castle. An evil rock has long gravitated over the castle. Many owners died not by his death, like a noodle, for some reason nailed right above the entrance. Once, a folk one arrived from the castle to the hut. The doctor did not want to go, but the circumstances forced him to agree. The next volume of the illustrated collected works of Alexander Dumas includes the novel “The Mysterious Doctor” - the first of the dilogy of the Great French Revolution “Creation and Atonement”
