Joan of Naples
Alexandre Dumas
Book Overview:
The celebrated crimes committed during the life of Joan (Joanna I) of Naples span from personal misdeeds (adulteries and mariticide) to regional warfare (like the 1345 War in the Piedmont), and ultimately unraveled her father’s legacy (King Robert the Wise). Dumas projects her story through a deathly lens: beginning with the passing of King Robert the Wise, winding through the untimely demise of nobles, soldiers, and children, then ending at Joan’s own assassination.

Splendida ricostruzione storica di una corte ricca di segreti, bugie, tradimenti e sotterfugi. Uno scenario accattivante, ricco di colpi di scena, di voltafaccia ed inganni.
