Excerpt from The Black Tulip
The brothers De Witt were very gentle in their treat ment of Louis XIV., whose moral influence throughout Europe they perceived to be steadily increasing, and whose material supremacy over Holland they had been made to feel in that marvellous campaign of the Rhine, made famous by the exploits of that hero of romance, the Comte de Guiche, and celebrated in song by Boileau.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Set against the backdrop of 17th-century Holland, this book delves into a time of political turmoil and social unrest. The Dutch Republic, once a beacon of tolerance and prosperity, finds itself caught in the crosshairs of ambition and envy. The De Witt brothers, Cornelius and John, symbols of republican ideals and unwavering patriotism, become targets of a shifting political landscape. As the House of Orange ascends to power, fueled by popular discontent and the machinations of those seeking to exploit it, the De Witts face accusations of treason and conspiracy. This historical novel seamlessly intertwines the fictional narrative of a passionate tulip enthusiast with the very real and dramatic events surrounding the De Witt brothers and the rise of William of Orange. The author masterfully paints a vivid picture of a nation grappling with its identity, torn between republican values and the allure of a powerful stadtholder. Themes of political intrigue, personal sacrifice, and the enduring power of hope are explored against the backdrop of a society captivated by the beauty and allure of the tulip. Through the lens of this tumultuous period, the book offers profound insights into the complexities of human nature, the fragility of power, and the enduring consequences of political choices. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit's resilience and the pursuit of beauty can offer solace and inspiration.
