"The Two Dianas," one of the most popular novels by the undisputed master of the historical adventure genre, Alexandre Dumas, invites readers to the sixteenth century, during the reigns of Henry II of France and Catherine de Medici—an era of courtly but no less brutal wars, an age of religious polemics veiled by court etiquette that threatened bloodshed at any moment, and a time of refined gallantry that could pose a mortal danger to a beautiful lady deprived of the patronage of a truly noble knight.

At the center of the narrative is the poignant love story of the young Diane de Castro, daughter of the king's beautiful mistress, Diane de Poitiers, and Count Gabriel Montgomery. In their quest to unite their destinies, the young people face cruel trials: the treachery of court intrigue, hatred, and betrayal...

The text is supplemented with wonderful illustrations from European editions of the novel from the mid- to late 19th century.
