Description
Audio studio “Ardis” presents Alexander Dumas’s novel “The Marquise d’Escoman,” published in 1860.
In 1833, the marquis d’Escoman led a debauched life in Châteaudun. Despite the fact that he was married, he shamelessly displayed his mistress, Marguerite Jeli, and carelessly squandered his wife’s fortune.
The new secretary to the prefect, Louis de Fontangy—young, ruined nobleman—would like to hold a respectable place in this society. But he met only antipathy, or even outright rejection, from the marquis d’Escoman and his friends. After challenging the marquis to a duel and saving his life, he meets the marquis’s wife, the beautiful marquise. Louis immediately falls in love with her, but the marquise gives him no illusions—she still hopes her husband will return to her.
To please the marquise, Louis hides his feelings and tries to make the marquis’s mistress give him up. His success exceeds all expectations, since Marguerite was only waiting for this—she was in love with him…
