La San-Felice, Tome 05

by Alexandre Dumas

"La San-Felice, Tome 05" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel published in 1864. Set during the turbulent period between 1798 and 1800, it follows a passionate romance between Salvato Palmieri, a French spy, and Luisa Sanfelice, wife of a Neapolitan officer. Against the backdrop of French revolutionary forces overthrowing Ferdinand I and the subsequent reconquest by Cardinal Ruffo, Dumas weaves a tale of love, patriotism, and tyranny—inspired partly by his own father's imprisonment by the Bourbons in 1799.
