Alexandre Dumas Sr. rewrites the well-known story of Ali Pasha in a unique way, giving his own dimension to the terrifying personality of the satrap of Epirus. In this work, one encounters some of the most impressive elements that characterize the works of the author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, such as the desire for revenge, unquenchable hatred, machinations, bloody crimes, and human passions with their tragic consequences.
Ali Pasha is a work by Dumas that is almost unknown until today, as it is being published for the first time worldwide. The circumstances of its writing also present a particular interest, the paradoxical background of which is illuminated in the introduction and epilogue of this edition.
