In 19th century Russia, a pair of lovers risk their lives by defying the tzar.


Based loosely on true events, "Vaninka" takes place during the reign of Paul I. The lady of the title is a general's daughter, who is due to be married, in a match approved of by the tzar. But Vaninka has fallen for another man—an officer under her father's command. The pair's illicit romance sets in motion a dark tale of death and dangerous secrets.


One of Alexandre Dumas' "Celebrated Crimes", "Vaninka" is in the tradition of great tragic love stories, from "Romeo and Juliet" to "Wuthering Heights".

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas was born July 24, 1802, at Villiers-Cotterets, France, the son of Napoleon's famous mulatto general, Dumas.

Alexandre Dumas began writing at an early age and saw his first success in a play he wrote entitled Henri III et sa Cour (1829). A prolific author, Dumas was also an adventurer and took part in the Revolution of 1830.

Dumas is most famous for his brilliant historical novels, which he wrote with collaborators, mainly Auguste Maquet, and which were serialized in the popular press of the day.

His most popular works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1844-45), and The Man in Iron Mask (1848-50). Dumas made and lost several fortunes, and died penniless on December 5, 1870.
