Amaury by Alexandre Dumas

Amaury by Alexandre Dumas

Amaury et Madeleine s'aiment et projettent de se marier; mais au moment ou le bonheur semble tout proche, la maladie frappe et les separe irrevocablement. Comment survivre a une telle epreuve ? Apres la douleur et la revolte viendra le retour a la vie: Amaury marque la fin d'un certain modele romantique epris d'absolu. Paru en 1844, ce texte, anterieur aux Trois Mousquetaires, fait partie des premiers essais de Dumas romancier. Totalement oublie depuis plus d'un siecle, il merite de retrouver sa place parmi les chefs-d'oeuvre du roman sentimental.Edition d'Anne-Marie Callet-Bianco.

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 on December 5, 1870.
