Joseph Balsamo — Episodes 1 & 2

An Illustrated Literary Adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s Classic Novel

A mysterious traveller. A secret gathering. An extraordinary ambition.

Step into the world of Joseph Balsamo, Alexandre Dumas’s sweeping historical novel of intrigue, power, secret societies, and the pursuit of forbidden knowledge.

Set against the turbulent backdrop of eighteenth-century Europe, the story begins with an enigmatic stranger whose arrival draws us into a world of hidden identities, dangerous allegiances, and unsettling revelations.

Episodia presents this literary classic in a fresh, illustrated format. The original narrative has been thoughtfully abridged and adapted into accessible, engaging English prose, accompanied by richly detailed historical illustrations that bring its characters, settings, and atmosphere to life.

Our aim is simple: to make great literature more inviting to discover and enjoyable to read, while preserving the spirit, mystery, and dramatic power of the original story.
