Summary "Joan of Naples" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel set in the early 20th century, chronicling the tumultuous reign of Joan of Naples during the 14th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of political intrigue and personal conflict following the death of King Robert of Anjou, highlighting Joan's struggle to claim her rightful place as queen amid competing ambitions and treacherous factions within the court. The opening of the novel introduces a night of turmoil in Naples as the bells toll for the dying King Robert. As the citizens rally in prayer and expectation of his death, we're drawn into the royal chamber, where political maneuvering and personal fears are laid bare. The king reflects on his past usurpation of the throne and expresses concerns for his granddaughter Joan, who is to inherit a kingdom rife with danger. As political factions begin to take shape, we meet Joan, a young and beautiful princess caught in a web of ambition, with her marriage to the Hungarian Prince Andre looming, which complicates her desires and responsibilities. The atmosphere of suspense and emotion sets the stage for a narrative rich with exploration of power, loyalty, and the costs of ambition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
