The Tower of Nesle: A Play in Five Acts and in Nine Tableaux (1906)

Alex Dumas

andreThe Tower of Nesle is a play written by French author Alexandre Dumas in 1906. The play is set in medieval France and follows the story of two sisters, Marguerite and Giselle, who are married to two brothers, Philippe and Louis. The sisters are involved in an illicit affair with a knight named Landry, who is also the lover of Queen Margaret. The plot revolves around the jealousy and betrayal that unfolds between the characters as they try to keep their secrets hidden. The play is divided into five acts and nine tableaux, with each tableau representing a different scene or moment in the story. The Tower of Nesle is known for its scandalous subject matter and was considered controversial when it was first performed. Despite this, it remains a popular play and has been adapted into several films and other works of literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
