The Club Dumas Arturo PerezReverte Sonia Soto Books

If you like The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas, you should read this masterpiece story. It contains many interesting facts about Dumas and his Musketeers included in adventures of middle-aged book-detective Lucas Corso who searches for the rare book "The Ninth Gate" with the help of mysterious girl Irene with striking green eyes.
Roman Polanski created the movie "The Ninth Gate" that was inspired by this part, but he selected only a fragment of the whole story. Moreover, he also changed the behavior of Liana Taillefer. In the movie, she admired black magic even if her book character had no interest in it. Dumas Club has brilliant ending missing in the movie and also contains the more believable story with the broader background.

The Club Dumas Arturo PerezReverte Sonia Soto Books Reviews

A book so we'll assembled in the occult realm that it can be relished by all.
Corso lives on as Johnny Depp in the movie version. The comparisons with the experience of Napoleon's final campaign are really inspired writing. Thoroughly enjoyable reading for anyone with an interest in the dark side of history.
This book is sneaky, and while I often find myself resentful of sneaky books, I think I can forgive this one, because, in the end, it plays fair, relying on the reader to make inferences or follow lines of thought uncritically.

Also, I appreciate an intelligent protagonist and Lucas Corso is an intelligent protagonist. Shrewd, educated, maybe not as nice as he could be, but there is a noir sensibility amidst the bibliophilia and occultism - no one here is nice and everyone has a scheme.

If you like your plots convoluted and your endings unexpected, you will probably enjoy The Club Dumas.
One of the best modern novels I have ever read and re-read. It's truly a work of story-telling genius. I have purchased copies for many friends, all of whom rave about it. A zillion people have reviewed this book, so I'm just throwing in my belated two cents that this is a reading experience you don't want to miss.
Best novel you've never heard of. This book formed the basis of the Roman Polanski movie "The Ninth Gate". Typical of other book-to-film adaptations, the book is so much richer. Set in modern-day Spain, it follows a rare book purveyor/mercenary who has been hired by two separate clients. One client wishes him to authenticate a "missing" chapter from The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas entitled "The Anjou Wine." His other client tasks him with authenticating a Medieval book which instructs the reader how to conjure the Devil. Unrelated, right? Or are they? The book is told using many references to classic literature, including (of course) "The Three Musketeers", "Moby Dick", and many others. The characters themselves become characters within these classics, following clues to unlocking the mysteries of the two manuscripts, and paralleling their fates. There is humor, intrigue, mystery, and all around fun in this book. I can't believe that it is not more popular. Pick it up for the weekend (because I guarantee you will not be able to put it down and it's a quick read).
An interesting exploration of a literary agent exploring a known book about the devil transposed with the Dumas story of the "Three Musketeers". While the only devil to be summoned up is that of one's own inner devil...there is an appearance of 'something'. Well worth the read and far better than the Ninth Gate movie.
I'm not sure that I can give a very expert review of this book. I think it helps to be extremely literate and familiar with the books it references, especially The Three Musketeers. Nevertheless, it is possible to enjoy this book without having read that. The early part of the book seemed to drag as it dealt heavily with the literary references and not much action. For those who don't already know, the movie The Ninth Gate, starring Johnny Depp, was based on this novel. But the book has a much more complicated plot, one that tricks you in the end. very well-written. Once the action started up (beginning with the entrance of the mysterious young girl) the book really got me going. Then I was hooked. It has a much more complicated plot than the movie and heads in a completely different direction. Very good, though it left me a little disappointed in the end. I wanted to know more. Still, highly recommended.
This book - a mixture of suspense, adventure, and the supernatural - would probably be more pleasing to the cognoscenti of the works of Alexander Dumas. I think I could have enjoyed it a lot more if I had remembered more about The Three Musketeers, its characters and plot. My advice would be to refresh (or acquire) lots of information about the works of Dumas before reading this book.
