The Red Sphinx by Alexandre Dumas
Towards the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, introducing a charming new hero, the Comte de Moret, a real historical figure from the Louis XIII period. This rip-roaring novel of historical adventure by the king of the swashbucklers, was heretofore unknown to English-language readers.
“The Red Sphinx may be as subtle as a Verdi opera worked over by the Daily Mail—but who cares, when it's so enjoyable?” -- The Spectator
