Jealousy Knows No Bounds in iI1wCrALR this BookBy Loni GeeAlexander Dumas takes on a totally unique subject as he nhWcNnpPO writes about the creation of the black tulip. If you love flowers, you will want to sqGDfmBsu read this book as Dumas describes some of the processes the hero uses to create mIHyRVWwX a unique colored tulip. It is really a love story; love of the tulip and love zRPp5846S between two people who seem unlikely to ever be able to get together. But, it is uJ615URGU overwhelmingly a tale of incredible jealousy and to what extent one man will go qWAebDLPF to, to prevent his rival from winning the award for the black tulip. It's a fast gelvN7Bc3 read, and it's okay. It's not my favorite book, but it's a unique look at growing vfEhnSXzu tulips in Holland.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two Cheers nKCRjrcSB for The Black TulipBy Karen AmrheinSince I was a child I've loved "The Three 3fyZwDQLG Musketeers" and its sequels, "Twenty Years After" and "The Vicomte de 6BHCves2C Bragelonne". They are among my favorite books of all, so I'm ever interested in POeUTYKRj a "new" book by Alexandre Dumas. "The Black Tulip" was one of those books OBIOHWGW4 of his I'd not read, nor even heard of until recently.The story is set in The Netherlands during the time of William of Orange (1670s). It involves the civil unrest of the time, but is primarily concerned with Cornelius Van Baerle, who has no interest in politics and is devoted to his tulips (and his quest to create the first all-black blossom); Rosa, the plucky young woman who loves and helps him; and the scheming and wicked Isaac Boxtel, who labors to acquire the elusive black tulip for himself, stooping even to falsely imprison the naive Cornelius.The story becomes surprisingly exciting, a true nail-biter even, and has the historical scenery, action, romance, and humor that draw me back to Dumas again and again. I don't love "The Black Tulip" like I do "The Three Musketeers" and its sequels, but I still find much to enjoy in it, and I plan to return to the book again in the years to come.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very fun readBy nyanThis is no "the three musketeers". But still a very fun read... Some stuffs in the story are not realistic... I am mostly impressed by Dewitt brothers, their contribution to their country and the ungratefulness of the people in general.. Although it is very small part of story, I can't help but feel astonished at the whole affairs.. Rosa is definitely lovely as a character Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) was the legendary French author who wrote such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, and The Man in the Iron Mask, all of which have been made into movies. This version of The Black Tulip includes a table of contents..
