La femme au collier de velours by Alexandre Dumas
"La femme au collier de velours" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel published in 1850. The story blends autobiography with fiction as Dumas recounts a tale told to him by his friend Charles Nodier. It follows the German writer E.T.A. Hoffmann, who travels to Paris during the French Revolution despite promising his fiancée Antonia he would remain faithful.

a silver guillotine clasp. Driven by desire, Hoffmann breaks his promises—leading to devastating consequences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
