Robin Hud
The legend of an English hero who fights injustice in Sherwood Forest. Dumas, known for his historical novels, brings a vivid and romantic interpretation of the story of an outlaw who steals from the rich to help the poor.
The plot follows Robin of Locksley, a nobleman who becomes an outlaw after a conflict with the Norman authorities and the unjust Sheriff of Nottingham. Hiding in Sherwood Forest, Robin gathers a group of loyal followers, including Little John, Friar Tuck, and Will Scarlet, and together they lead a guerilla fight against tyranny. The novel is full of adventures: raids on rich people's caravans, clashes with soldiers and rescuing innocents. The love story between Robin and Lady Marian adds emotional depth, while their relationship poses additional dangers due to the sheriff's intrigues.
Dumas emphasizes themes of justice, freedom and resistance against oppression, with a characteristically dynamic style filled with duels, humor and dramatic twists. The novel focuses on Robin's charisma and strategy, portraying him as a folk hero who stands up to corruption. The ending brings the victory of justice, but also a bitter taste because of the victims in the battle.
