| Summary | "La San-Felice, Tome IX (Publié dans une autre édition sous le titre de 'Emma Lyonna', Tome V)" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the tumultuous events surrounding the life of François Caracciolo, a nobleman executed for treason, and the political upheaval in Naples during the late 1790s, as seen through the eyes of Cardinal Ruffo and other significant figures of that era. The opening of the novel introduces the shocking execution of Admiral Caracciolo in Naples, which sends ripples of horror through the city and promises dire consequences for those involved in his trial. Cardinal Ruffo, initially unaware of the proceedings, receives the news of Caracciolo’s death in a letter, leading him to wrestle with his authority and the presence of English forces under Lord Nelson. As the story unfolds, the tensions between the royalists and the republicans intensify, exposing the fragile nature of political alliances and the heavy toll of loyalty and betrayal during a chaotic period in history. This gripping beginning sets the stage for an exploration of moral dilemmas, misused power, and the impending bloodshed that follows. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
