Summary: "La tulipe noire" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set against the backdrop of 17th-century Holland, the story revolves around the political strife faced by two brothers, Jean and Corneille de Witt, amidst the tumultuous atmosphere of the time. As the narrative unfolds, the central themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the pursuit of rare tulip bulbs serve as both a literal and metaphorical representation of the characters' lives. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a vibrant and politically charged scene in The Hague during August 1672. Corneille de Witt is imprisoned under charges of conspiracy, and the growing tension among the populace foreshadows danger for him and his brother, Jean, former Grand Pensionary of Holland. As Jean attempts to secure Corneille's release, the brothers must navigate the violent backlash from the orangist faction, who view them as traitors. The opening chapters highlight the mounting urgency and impending chaos, setting the stage for a dramatic tale of survival and political intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
