The New Troy
Montevideo, or the new Troy
is an 1850 novel by
Alexandre Dumas
. It is a
historical novel
about the
Uruguayan Civil War
, where the Uruguayan presidents
Manuel Oribe
and
Fructuoso Rivera
disputed the rule of the country. The name sets a parallelism with the
Trojan War
, as Oribe kept
Montevideo
, capital of Uruguay, under siege for many years (known as the
Great Siege of Montevideo
).
