Author Description

Louis XVII: Or The Arab Jew is a historical fiction novel written by Georgina Weldon and first published in 1908. The novel explores the mystery surrounding the fate of Louis XVII, the son of King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette, who disappeared from his prison cell during the French Revolution and was believed to have died in captivity. In the novel, Weldon presents a controversial theory that Louis XVII was not actually the son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, but rather the child of an Arab Jew who had been switched with the real prince at birth. The story follows the life of the young prince, who is raised in secret by his Jewish father and eventually becomes embroiled in the political turmoil of the French Revolution. The novel is a blend of historical fact and fiction, and Weldon weaves together real-life events and characters with her own imaginative storyline. The book also touches on themes of identity, loyalty, and the power of secrets. Overall, Louis XVII: Or The Arab Jew is a unique and intriguing take on the mystery of Louis XVII's disappearance, and is sure to captivate readers interested in French history, conspiracy theories, and historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
