Description
One of the most unusual novels by the great Dumas!

Huge fortunes are made on tulips—and the very same tulips ruin the richest people in the country. Tulips are traded by everyone: aristocrats and commoners, merchants and politicians. For tulips, people sell honor, conscience, and even a woman’s love. But one day, the flower grower Cornelius van Berle manages to find a way to cultivate a flower of the rarest color and incredible beauty. This treasure could enrich him forever—or cost him his life…
