"The Black Tulip" is one of the most unusual novels by the great Dumas. The events of the novel take place not in the author's native France, but in the Netherlands during the legendary "tulip mania" of the 17th century. Huge fortunes are made on tulips, and those same tulips bankrupt the wealthiest people in the country. Everyone trades in tulips: aristocrats and commoners, merchants and politicians. Honor, conscience, and even female love are sold for tulips. But one day, the horticulturist Cornelius van Baerle manages to find a way to grow a flower of the rarest color and incredible beauty. This treasure could forever enrich him - or cost him his life...
