La San-Felice, Tome 02

"La San-Felice, Tome 02" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel published in 1864.

The narrative unfolds during the dramatic overthrow of Ferdinand I by French troops and the subsequent reconquest by Cardinal Ruffo. Dumas creates this monument to Neapolitan patriotism with personal resonance—his own father was imprisoned by the Bourbons during this tumultuous period. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
