"Ascanio" - one of the most fascinating historical novels of Alexandre Dumas. The idea for this work appeared at the writer after he got to him the memoirs of Benvenuto Cellini, the greatest Italian sculptor, jeweler and painter of the Renaissance. A young boy named Ascanio is in love with a charming girl named Columba, the daughter of a wealthy nobleman. But, unfortunately, the Duchess d'Etamp, the king's favorite, falls in love with him, and for the sake of her love she is ready to do anything, even betrayal. To help the young lovers comes the celebrated artist and talented master Cellini. He is ready to sacrifice his life for the happiness of his pupil and the beautiful Columba. His noble heart, extraordinary talent and firm hand confront the guile and cunning of powerful intriguers.
54 unique illustrations by J. Desandre, J. Guerlier and G. Doré perfectly complement the plot of the wonderful novel and brilliantly convey the atmosphere of events taking place in France during the reign of Francis I. For middle school age.
