Coles Ali Pacha Celebrated Crimes: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In Ali Pacha, Alexandre Dumas turns the rise and fall of one of the Ottoman Empire's most formidable rulers into a sweeping drama of ambition, cruelty, and revolt. Against a backdrop of imperial corruption, tribal warfare, and decaying authority, Ali Tepeleni emerges from the violent mountains of Albania as a man forged by blood feud and ruthless self-advancement, his ascent rooted in a family history already marked by banditry, revenge, and strategic alliances. Dumas follows him from his brutal origins to the glittering terror of his court, where banquets, intrigue, and sudden violence expose the instability of power. At the center of the tale is Ali's descent into tyranny: forbidden desire, murder, deception, and calculated state violence fuel a cycle of scandal and retaliation. His campaigns against rivals and coastal strongholds bring both cunning and humiliation, while scenes of punishment and public degradation underscore the harsh logic of rule. The narrative ends in betrayal, siege, and bloody death, as Ali's fortress falls, his head is displayed, and his family is destroyed, sealing the tragic fate of a man whose ferocity helped shape history. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
