Description
audible1 recording of The Marie Antoinette Romances, Vol 2: The Mesmerist’s Victim by Alexandre Dumas. (Translated by Henry L. Williams.)
Read in English by John Van Stan
This 2nd volume of the Marie Antoinette Romances continues the intrigues of “Balsamo, The Magician” and adds to them the schemes of philosophers and the stirrings of revolution. Balsamo (based on the real Count Alessandro di Cagliostro) carries on his occult tactics to weaponize the state secrets that he gained in the previous volume. A serious romance and illness takes root in the court of King Louis XV, convincing one of the leading philosophic minds of the era, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, that “the breath of heaven will blast an age and a monarchy.” – Summary by jvanstan
