Synopsis The thick historical novels of the 19th century French writer Alexandre Dumas, Sr. are packed with some fact and a lot of fiction. Chapter 22 of "The Three Musketeers," for example, set during the 17th century reign of King Louis XIII, begins as follows: "Nothing was talked of in Paris but the ball which the aldermen were to give to the king and queen in which their Majesties were to dance the famous 'La Merlaison' — the favorite ballet of the king. Eight days had been spent preparing for the important evening. The city carpenters erected risers for the guests; the hall would be lit by two hundred huge candles of white wax, a luxury unheard of; and twenty violins were ordered, the price for them double the usual rate, since they would be playing all night." In this case, Dumas was referencing a real event. On today's date in 1635, at Chantilly castle, a gala ballet premiered. It depicted in stylized dance the Louis's favorite activity: hunting the blackbird ("la merlaison" in French). The choreography, the costumes, and music were all created by the King himself—who also danced several of the lead roles. It got a rave review in the press of the day. If there were any critics, we suspect Cardinal Richelieu, the dreaded power behind the throne in Dumas's novel—and in real life—had them hauled off and "dealt with." Ah yes, it's good to be King.

Written 180 years ago we step back in time through the pages of the classic novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. This is such a hefty book and contains so much we wanted to talk about we decided to break it up into two parts. We are really enjoying our Penguin Classics version of the book that features the A Storm with Smuggler's Landing on the cover. The artwork was done by Philip James de Loutherbourg (1740-1812) In part one we try to give an overview of the story and lay the foundation by introducing characters and historical happenings. Our discussion covers the background on Alexandre Dumas and his struggles as a mixed race author. Dumas was inspired to pen The Count of Monte Cristo by a true story of an innocent man who was imprisoned unjustly. The story begins in 1815 and takes place in France, islands in the Mediterranean and Italy. Chapter one is the day that Napoleon left his first island of exile, starting the hundred days period when Bonaparte returned to power. Dumas expertly tied the plot of the story to actual events in history. The main character is Edmond Dantès, the wide-eyed, hard working, honest, handsome, naïve sailor who is unjustly imprisoned in the The Château d'If which is the equivalent of Alcatraz in the United States. The story follows Edmonds journey through insurmountable joy, confusion, devastating grief, harrowing loneliness, the life giving light of hope and the hardening of revenge. The Count of Monte Cristo is our first French novel to read. We like to watch videos on Course Hero to help us learn how to properly pronounce the names in the book. Here is the podcast episode we mentioned from Politics By Faith with Mike Slater. ======================================================================================================================= Be sure to let us know if you have read this novel or if you have books you would like to recommend.

"Les trois Mousquetaires" est sans nul doute l'une des œuvres les plus fameuses de la littérature mondiale. Et elle apporta une gloire durable à leur auteur, le romancier Alexandre Dumas. Mais pourquoi a-t-il nommé ainsi ses célèbres personnages, d'Artagnan et ses compagnons, Portos, Athos et Aramis ? Si Dumas leur a donné ce nom, c'est que, dans le roman, les trois amis de d'Artagnan, que celui-ci rejoindra par la suite dans la compagnie, sont bien des mousquetaires. Ce corps a été créé par Louis XIII en 1622. Leur nom vient de l'arme que ces soldats utilisent, le mousquet. Cette arme à feu, au long canon, est l'ancêtre de notre fusil. Elle est en tous cas plus efficace que l'arquebuse, qui équipait jusque-là les soldats. C'est le Roi qui est le chef nominal de cette compagnie, placée sous les ordres effectifs d'un capitaine-lieutenant. Elle porte d'abord le nom de "Compagnie de mousquetons du Roi", avant de s'appeler simplement "Mousquetaires du Roi". Principal ministre de Louis XIII, Richelieu a ses propres mousquetaires, dont la casaque, aux couleurs de l'Église, est rouge vif. Dissous par Mazarin, en 1646, le corps des mousquetaires est rétabli par Louis XIV. À partir de 1664, on distingue deux compagnies de mousquetaires, dont le nom vient de la couleur de leur chevaux : les mousquetaires noirs et les mousquetaires gris. Comme il était d'usage à l'époque, les mousquetaires sont recrutés dans les familles nobles. Ils forment un corps d'élite, chargés de protéger le Roi, qui leur confie en plus diverses missions de confiance. Dissous un temps par Louis XVI, les mousquetaires sont définitivement supprimés par Louis XVIII, en 1816. Il est à noter que Charles de Batz de Castelmore, le d'Artagnan d'Alexandre Dumas, fut bien un mousquetaire. Il les a même dirigés. À ce titre, Louis XIV lui a confié des missions importantes, comme l'arrestation du surintendant Fouquet, en 1661. Mais, né en 1611, le vrai d'Artagnan n'était pas assez âgé pour participer à l'intrigue du roman de Dumas, qui commence en 1625. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Alexandre Dumas (dit aussi Alexandre Dumas père) est un écrivain français né le 24 juillet 1802à Villers-Cotterêts (Aisne) et mort le 5 décembre 1870 au hameau de Puys, ancienne commune de Neuville-lès-Dieppe, aujourd'hui intégrée à Dieppe (Seine-Maritime). Il est le fils de Marie-Louise Labouret (1769-1838) et Thomas Alexandre Davy de La Pailleterie(1762-1806) (né à Saint-Domingue, actuelle Haïti) dit le général Dumas, et le père des écrivains Henry Bauër et Alexandre Dumas (1824-1895) dit « Dumas fils », auteur de La Dame aux camélias. Proche des romantiques et tourné vers le théâtre, Alexandre Dumas écrit d'abord un vaudeville à succès et des drames historiques comme Henri III et sa cour (1829), La Tour de Nesle (1832), Kean(1836). Auteur prolifique, il s'oriente ensuite vers les romans historiques tels que la trilogie des mousquetaires (Les Trois Mousquetaires (1844), Vingt Ans après (1845) et Le Vicomte de Bragelonne (1847-1850)), ou encore Le Comte de Monte-Cristo (1844-1846), La Reine Margot(1845) et La Dame de Monsoreau (1846). La paternité de certaines de ses œuvres lui est contestée. Dumas fut ainsi soupçonné par plusieurs critiques de son époque d'avoir eu recours à des prête-plume, notamment Auguste Maquet. Toutefois les recherches contemporaines ont montré que Dumas avait mis en place une coopération avec ce dernier : Dumas s'occupait de choisir le thème général et modifiait les ébauches de Maquet pour les rendre plus dynamiques. On ne peut donc lui nier la paternité de son œuvre, même s'il n'aurait peut-être pas pu réaliser tous ses chefs-d'œuvre des années 1844-1850 sans la présence à ses côtés d'un collaborateur à tout faire efficace et discret1. L'œuvre d'Alexandre Dumas est universelle ; selon l'Index Translationum, avec un total de 2 540 traductions, il vient au treizième rang des auteurs les plus traduits en langue étrangère2. Le Comte de Monte-Cristo est un roman d'Alexandre Dumas, écrit avec la collaboration d'Auguste Maquet et dont la publication commence durant l'été 1844. Il est partiellement inspiré du récit d'un fait divers, « Le Diamant et la Vengeance », publié en 1838 dans les Mémoires tirés des archives de la police, mémoires apocryphes rédigés en large partie par l'écrivain Étienne-Léon de Lamothe-Langon à partir des notes de Jacques Peuchet, archiviste de la Préfecture de police. Le roman raconte comment, au début du règne de Louis XVIII, le 24 février 1815, alors que Napoléon se prépare à quitter l'île d'Elbe, Edmond Dantès, jeune marin de dix-neuf ans, second du navire Le Pharaon, débarque à Marseille pour s'y fiancer le lendemain avec la belle Catalane Mercédès. Trahi par des « amis » jaloux, il est dénoncé comme conspirateur bonapartiste et enfermé dans une geôle du château d'If, au large de Marseille. Après quatorze années, d'abord réduit à la solitude et au désespoir puis régénéré et instruit en secret par un compagnon de captivité, l'abbé Faria, il réussit à s'évader et prend possession d'un trésor caché dans l'île de Montecristo dont l'abbé, avant de mourir, lui avait signalé l'existence. Rendu riche et puissant, Dantès se fait passer pour divers personnages, dont le comte de Monte-Cristo. Il entreprend de garantir le bonheur et la liberté aux rares qui lui sont restés fidèles et de se venger méthodiquement de ceux qui l'ont accusé à tort et fait emprisonner. Cet ouvrage est, avec Les Trois Mousquetaires, l'une des œuvres les plus connues de l'écrivain tant en France qu'à l'étranger. Il a d'abord été publié en feuilleton dans le Journal des débats du 28 août au 19 octobre 1844 (1re partie), du 31 octobre au 26 novembre 1844 (2e partie), puis finalement du 20 juin 1845 au 15 janvier 1846 (3e partie).

Choses à Savoir HISTOIRE
Robin des Bois a-t-il existé ?

Choses à Savoir HISTOIRE

Popularisé par le cinéma et le dessin animé, Robin des Bois est devenu, pour les enfants comme pour les adultes, un personnage familier. Entouré de Frère Tuck, un moine truculent, et de Petit Jean, qui dirigeait les rebelles de la forêt de Sherwood avant son arrivée, il courtise la belle Marianne et lutte contre les exactions du cauteleux shérif de Nottingham. Dès le début du XIIIe siècle, des légendes sont apparues au sujet de ce bandit au grand cœur, qui volait les riches pour donner aux pauvres. Les chansons des troubadours s'en font l'écho et, dès le XIVe siècle, des récits écrits racontent l'histoire d'un certain Robin des Bois. Les plus connus sont une œuvre de William Langland, « Pierre le Laboureur », ou des ballades comme « La geste de Robin des Bois » ou encore « Robin et le moine », où la figure d'un brigand généreux, rebelle à l'autorité, se précise. Beaucoup plus tard, Alexandre Dumas lui consacrera deux livres. Mais, au-delà de la légende, Robin des Bois a-t-il vraiment existé ? Il est impossible d'identifier, avec précision, un personnage historique ayant porté ce nom. À la vérité, ce surnom de « Robin des Bois » a été donné , aux XIIIe et XIVe siècles, à plusieurs braconniers ou voleurs de grand chemin. De leur côté, des historiens anglais estiment que Robin des Bois serait à la croisée de plusieurs personnages : un soldat ayant vécu au début du XIVe siècle, du nom de Robert Hood de Wakefield, un paysan vivant dans une forêt du Yorkshire et l'un des barons en lutte contre Jean sans Terre, un certain Fulk Fitz-Warine. Or, on sait que Robin des Bois s'était rangé dans le camp de Richard Cœur de Lion, qui luttait contre son frère félon, le Roi Jean. Il est aussi question, dans certains documents, d'un hors-la-loi nommé William Robehod, qui aurait vécu à la fin du XIIIe siècle. Le personnage fictif de Robin des Bois a sans doute été composé à partir de ces figures historiques. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Short Nonfiction Collections - Book 91 Title: Short Nonfiction Collections Overview: Thousands of short stories are available through our Short Nonfiction Collections series from classic authors Ernest Hemingway, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, James Joyce, J. D. Salinger, William Faulkner, Jack London, Anton Chekhov, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Frederick Douglass, Charles Darwin, O Henry, Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, and many other classic authors. These nonfiction short stories provide accurate information regarding a real-world topic and may be presented either objectively or subjectively. Nonfiction is one of the fundamental divisions of narrative writing (specifically, prose) — in contrast to fiction, largely populated by imaginary characters and events, though sometimes ambiguous regarding its basis in reality. Each of the short story collections is a book of short stories that may or may not share a tone, theme, setting, or characters with one another. While specific claims in a nonfiction work may prove inaccurate, the typical author genuinely aims to be truthful at the time of their composition, offering accounts of historical or empirical facts. Systematic reporting of the beliefs of others in a nonfiction format is not necessarily an endorsement of the veracity of those beliefs, but rather an exercise in representing the topic. These short story collections are made up of smaller texts—the individual short stories—in order to form a superior whole. In spite of this, each short story does not lose any of its meaning or narrative independence by being included in a collection. This does not mean that these short stories do not gain any new meaning from being included in a collection, though. Because each story's context has changed, surrounded by other stories with their own meanings and tones, the meaning and tone of any individual story might also be affected. In addition to the individual stories, short story collections may also include notes by the author.

In spite of this, each short story does not lose any of its meaning or narrative independence by being included in a collection. This does not mean that these short stories do not gain any new meaning from being included in a collection, though. Because each story's context has changed, surrounded by other stories with their own meanings and tones, the meaning and tone of any individual story might also be affected. In addition to the individual stories, short story collections may also include notes by the author.

Short Nonfiction Collections - Book 84 Title: Short Nonfiction Collections Overview: Thousands of short stories are available through our Short Nonfiction Collections series from classic authors Ernest Hemingway, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, James Joyce, J. D. Salinger, William Faulkner, Jack London, Anton Chekhov, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Walt Whitman, Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Frederick Douglass, Charles Darwin, O Henry, Sir Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, and many other classic authors. These nonfiction short stories provide accurate information regarding a real-world topic and may be presented either objectively or subjectively. Nonfiction is one of the fundamental divisions of narrative writing (specifically, prose) — in contrast to fiction, largely populated by imaginary characters and events, though sometimes ambiguous regarding its basis in reality. Each of the short story collections is a book of short stories that may or may not share a tone, theme, setting, or characters with one another. While specific claims in a nonfiction work may prove inaccurate, the typical author genuinely aims to be truthful at the time of their composition, offering accounts of historical or empirical facts.
