THE END OF MURAT, by Jean Berleux and Alexandre Dumas, adapted from an incident in a Dumas novel, deals with the fall of Joachim Murat, Napoleonic King of the Two Sicilies, in late 1815, and his trial at the instigation of the restored monarch, King Ferdinand.

All three dramas provide riveting glimpses into a period when Europe was trying to rediscover itself--without much success. First-rate tragedies!
