Le succès de leurs aventures ne s'épuisera jamais: Athos, Porthos, Aramis et d'Artagnan sont sortis des bibliothèques pour descendre dans la rue. Depuis un siècle et demi, ils nous enseignent l'amitié, l'insolence et l'audace. Pour sauver son orgueilleuse et mélancolique reine, le quatuor mythique de la chevalerie française affronte la noirceur de Richelieu et la perfidie de Milady. Unis par une fraternité sacrée qui les rend invincibles, ils incarnent le charme et l'indépendance de tout un peuple. Mais la flamme et la vitalité qui émanent, de chaque page de ce roman reste un mystère: il en va ainsi de tous les chefs-d'oeuvre. |

«Ce roman trop oublié est un chef-d'œuvre unique chez Dumas. Il aurait pu être signé de Sterne, ou de Swift c'est dans leur ton qu'il évoque la traite des noirs. Le récit est plein de gaieté et de verve, de burlesque parodique: on y trouve les grandes scènes du roman d'aventures, la prise du navire marchand, la mutinerie à bord, l'Amérique de Fenimore Cooper. Les personnages sont empruntés à la tradition comique: l'Anglais en proie au spleen, le trompeur, le gourmand, le niais, le chef indien. C'est aussi une œuvre sombre: une suite de morts, animaux massacrés, esclaves tués en route, immigrants anglais décimés par la maladie, indigènes exterminés. Le héros, Pamphile, incarne la société commerçante et pharisienne dans laquelle l'artiste est condamné à vivre. C'est le monde de Monte-Cristo sans le comte. «Le travail m'excite: dès que j'ai la plume à la main, une réaction s'opère; mes plus folles fantaisies sont souvent sorties de mes jours les plus nébuleux. Supposez un orage avec des éclairs roses».» |

«Les trois mousquetaires est certainement le roman le plus populaire d'Alexandre Dumas père. Le fougueux aspirant-mousquetaire gascon, d'Artagnan, et ses trois compagnons mousquetaires du roi, Athos, Porthos et Aramis, mettent toute leur audace et toute leur bravoure au service de la «bonne cause». Ancêtres des justiciers, détectives et agents secrets, ces quatre amis font revivre passionnément l'époque de Louis XIII. Cette collection se propose de rendre accessibles aux jeunes lecteurs de grandes œuvres littéraires. Il ne s'agit jamais de résumés, ni de morceaux choisis, mais du texte même, abrégé de manière à laisser intacts le fil du récit, le ton, le style et le rythme de l'auteur.» |

A beautiful new clothbound edition of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel of wrongful imprisonment, adventure and revenge. Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of the Chateau d'If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and becomes determined not only to escape but to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. A huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s, Dumas was inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment when writing his epic tale of suffering and retribution. |

Alexandre Dumas's novels are notable for their suspense and excitement, their foul deeds, hairsbreadth escapes, and glorious victories. In The Black Tulip, the shortest of Dumas's most famous tales, the real hero is no Musketeer, but a flower. The novel — a deceptively simple story — is set in Holland in 1672, and weaves the historical events surrounding the brutal murder of John de Witte and his brother Cornelius into a tale of romantic love. The novel is also a timeless political allegory in which Dumas, drawing on the violence and crimes of history, makes his case against tyranny and puts all his energies into creating a symbol of justice and tolerance: the fateful tulipa negra. This edition reprints the first, classic English translation. David Coward sets the novel in the context of its author's life, the turbulent history of the Dutch Republic, and the amazing tulipmania of the 17th century which brought wealth to some and ruin to many. |

Louise de la Balliere is the middle section of The Vicomte de Bragelonne or, Ten Years After. Against a tender love story, Dumas continues the suspense which began with The Vicomte de Bragelonne and will end with The Man in the Iron Mask. It is early summer, 1661, and the royal court of France is in turmoil. Can it be true that the King is in love with the Duchess d'Orleans? Or has his eye been caught by the sweet and gentle Louise de la Valliere? No one is more anxious to know the answer than Raoul, son of Athos, who loves Louise more than life itself. Behind the scenes, dark intrigues are afoot. Louis XIV is intent on making himself absolute master of France. Imminent crisis shakes the now aging Musketeers and d'Artagnan out of their complacent retirement, but is the cause just? This new edition of the classic English translation of 1857 is richly annotated and sets Dumas's invigorating tale in its historical and cultural context. |

One of France's best-selling writers at the time of the novel's composition, Dumas here combines what he considered to be life's essentials — l'action et l'amour. This historical romance is the climax of his epic of chivalry and valour that began with The Three Musketeers, and it is here that Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and their friend d'Artagnan, once invincible, meet their destinies. This edition provides background information and notes crucial to an understanding of the legend and the novel's setting. |
