Summary "Kuningattaren kaulanauha: Historiallinen romaani Ludvig XVI:n hovista" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel likely written in the early 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the opulent but turbulent court of Louis XVI, centering on the life and schemes of the adventurous Jeanne de la Motte, who seeks to manipulate high society for her benefit. The novel explores themes of ambition, deception, and the intricate political machinations of the time. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the eerie and dilapidated house where the Count of Cagliostro arrives, setting an atmosphere filled with mystery and foreboding. He reflects on the past as he navigates the empty rooms, recalling the lives once vibrant within those walls. The opening chapter paints a vivid picture of loss and decay, establishing a tone that hints at hidden ambitions and secret plots. Meanwhile, we learn about Jeanne de la Motte, who is keen on leveraging her charm and wit to infiltrate the upper echelons of society, ultimately leading to her involvement in the scandal surrounding the queen’s infamous necklace.
