“History (with a capital letter) is just a fortunate nail on which I hang a bunch of my novels,” said Alexander Dumas once. The place of honor in this bunch is occupied by his novel Black Tulip. The narrative transfers readers to Holland of the seventeenth century, where there is a cruel struggle for power and at the same time tulipania continues when experts are ready to pay a giant amount for the tulip onion at the auction. Around the excretion of a beautiful flower of rare colors, serious passions flare up, because for a black tulip a huge amount of one hundred thousand florins is promised. The young florist Cornelius Van Berle was thrown into prison on charges of treason. The reason for this is the denunciation of the envious, a certain Mr. Bokstel, who seeks to assign the work of Cornelius and get a black tulip. Will the villain be able to achieve his goal and get the cherished bulbs? The novel by Alexander Dumas is published in the translation of Leonid Efimov, made specifically for this publication
