Summary "Musta tulpaani: Romaani" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the tumultuous political landscape of 17th-century Holland, focusing on the de Witt brothers, particularly Kornelius de Witt, and the surrounding chaos involving their struggles against the rising power of the Oranians amidst a society steeped in intrigue and conflict.
