Synopsis "Ascanio (in Spanish)"

Utilizando episodios de la vida de Benvenuto Cellini, el gran escultor y orfebre florentino del siglo XV, Alexandre Dumas escribió una de las mejores novelas salidas de su pluma: Ascanio. Sus personajes son fascinantes: no sólo el propio Cellini, fogoso, iluminado, violento hasta llegar al crimen, pero también íntegro, humano, devoto de los que ama; sino también la peligrosa e intrigante duquesa dEtampes, amante del rey Francisco I y capaz de cualquer artimaña; Ascanio, el alumno preferido de Cellini, atrapado entre dos amores; Colombe, dulce y encantadora, obligada por el preboste de París a un matrimonio contra su voluntad; e incluso Carlos V, quien necesita atravesar Francia para someter a los rebeldes de Gante y que para garantizar su seguridad está dispuesto a ceder al rey francés el ducado de Milán. Novela trepidante, Ascanio contiene elementos de novela histórica, de novela de capa y espada, y también de folletín. Los lectores que inicien su lectura no podrán abandonarla.

Alexandre Dumas is one of the most prolific and popular authors from France. He was born in 1802 in the city of Villers-Cotterets, and soon moved to Paris to work as a secretary for the Duke of Orléans. There, he completed his education on his own and began to take an interest in writing.
He started by writing plays, and then moved on to poems and long stories. However, his real success did not come until 1844, the year he released the work that would catapult him to fame: The Three Musketeers. The serial publication of this novel brought him a huge sum of money, but it also meant countless hours of work, many collaborators, and the production of up to eighty installments to meet the growing public demand.
After the publication of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas amassed a great fortune. However, his hedonistic nature led him to squander all he had earned and he soon found himself forced to exile in Belgium to escape his French creditors.
The Count of Monte Cristo, the pinnacle of the author's narrative, is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time.
