Synopsis "María Estuardo (in Spanish)"

El autor francés recorre la trágica vida de María Estuardo. Inteligente, culta y de una belleza cautivadora, todo auguraba un futuro brillante para la joven reina. Sin embargo, su vida fue un sinfín de calamidades desde que regresó a Escocia, procedente de Francia, para hacerse cargo del trono hasta su prolongada caída en desgracia: abdicación, exilio, cautiverio y muerte por decapitación, tras ser acusada de planear el asesinato de su prima, la reina Isabel I de Inglaterra. Desde entonces, la figura de María Estuardo no ha dejado de generar fascinación y polémica a partes iguales, dando razón a sus últimas palabras: «En mi final está mi principio».

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.
