Summary: <p>Celebrated Crimes - Alexandre Dumas - Book 1 - Book 4: Volume 2: Part 2: The Massacres of the South: 1551-1815</p> <p>Title: Celebrated Crimes, Volume. 2: The Massacres of the South: 1551-1815</p> <p>Overview: From 1839 to 1841, Dumas, with the assistance of several friends, compiled Celebrated Crimes, an eight-volume collection of essays on famous criminals and crimes from European history. He featured Beatrice Cenci, Martin Guerre, Cesare, and Lucrezia Borgia, as well as more recent events and criminals, including the cases of the alleged murderers Karl Ludwig Sand and Antoine François Desrues, who were executed. Dumas's 'Celebrated Crimes' was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language--has minced no words--to describe the violent scenes of a violent time. In some instances, facts appear distorted out of their true perspective, and in others, the author makes unwarranted charges. The careful, mature reader, for whom the books are intended, will recognize, and allow for, this fact. The second volume chronicles the sanguinary deeds in the south of France, carried on in the name of religion, but drenching in blood the fair country round about Avignon, for a long period of years.</p> <p>Published: 1910</p> <p>Series: Celebrated Crimes Collection Series, Celebrated #4</p> <p>List: True Crime Collection</p> <p>Author: Alexandre Dumas</p> <p>Translator: George Burnham Ives</p> <p>Genre: Biography & Autobiography, True Crime, Criminology, Middle Ages, Middle Ages History, War & Military, Christianity, Early Modern, Historical Fiction</p> <p>Episode: Celebrated Crimes - Alexandre Dumas - Book 1 - Book 4: Volume 2: Part 2: The Massacres of the South: 1551-1815</p> <p>Volume: 2 of 8</p> <p>Part: 1 of 2</p> <p>Episodes Part: 7</p> <p>Length Part: 4:14:53</p> <p>Episodes Volume: 15</p> <p>Length Volume: 9:02:09</p> <p>Episodes Book: 133</p> <p>Length Book: 59:56:00</p> <p>Narrator: John Van Stan</p> <p>Language: English</p> <p>Rated: Guidance Strongly Suggested, Mature Audience Only</p> <p>Edition: Unabridged Audiobook</p> <p>Keywords: Alexandre Dumas, Biography, Autobiography, True Crime, Criminology, Middle Ages, History, War, Military, Christianity, Early Modern, Historical, Fiction, Borgias, Cenci, Massacres, Deep South, Mary Stuart, Karl-Ludwig Sand, Urbain Grandier, Nisida, Desrues, La Constantin, Joan of Naples, Iron Mask, Martin Guerre, Ali Pacha, Countess de Saint-Geran, Murat, Marquise de Brinvilliers, Vaninka, Marquise de Ganges, The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo</p> <p>Hashtags: #freeaudiobooks #audiobook #mustread #readingbooks #audiblebooks #favoritebooks #free #booklist #audible #freeaudiobook #AlexandreDumas #Biography #Autobiography #True Crime #Criminology #Middle Ages #History #War #Military #Christianity #Early #Modern #Historical #Fiction #Borgias #Cenci #Massacres #DeepSouth #MaryStuart #Karl-LudwigSand #UrbainGrandier #Nisida #Desrues #LaConstantin #JoanofNaples #IronMask #MartinGuerre #AliPacha #CountessdeSaint-Geran #Murat #MarquisedeBrinvilliers #Vaninka #MarquisedeGanges #TheThreeMusketeers #TheCountofMonteCristo</p> <p>Credits: All LibriVox Recordings are in the Public Domain.
