Podcasts about Alexandre Dumas

Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin dig into the life of Alexandre Dumas Père — and it's a wild ride. His grandmother was a slave. His father was the French army's first non-white general. Napoleon destroyed that father, and Dumas never forgot it. He wrote over 100 novels, went broke twice, helped unify Italy, and ran the museums of Naples — including Pompeii. Oh, and he wrote a cookbook. Elyse brings the research, Annie brings the questions, and together they make French history genuinely fun. Hit play.

Intrattenimento e informazione, musica, cultura, i fatti del giorno e la rassegna stampa con i vostri messaggi in diretta: tutto questo è Radio Vaticana con Voi! Anche oggi insieme per iniziare la giornata con numerosi ospiti! Come ogni giorno, protagonisti gli ascoltatori! Intervieni in diretta tramite WhatsApp al numero 335 1243722 Puntata curata e condotta da Francesco De Remigis e Stefania Ferretti Con Massimiliano Menichetti, vicedirettore editoriale dei media vaticani e responsabile di Radio Vaticana - Vatican News abbiamo commentato la catechesi dell'Angelus domenicale, l'incoraggiamento di Leone XIV a testimoniare il Vangelo "anche là dove il suo valore non è compreso o accettato". Dall'exurcus sul Viaggio Apostolico del Papa in Spagna, alla Visita Pastorale a Pavia fino alla prossima Visita a Lampedusa, abbiamo approfondito i richiami del Pontefice a non voltarsi dall'altra parte di fronte a chi cerca protezione e sicurezza nel complesso tema del fenomeno migratorio. In studio, per la consueta rubrica culturale "Spigolature", con Gabriele Nicolò dell'Osservatore Romano siamo andati alla scoperta di una figura poco nota che ha avuto un ruolo fondamentale nella stesura del "Conte di Montecristo" di Alexandre Dumas, Auguste Maquet. Con l'artista altoatesina Sigrid Platner, già nota alle cronache artistiche per la sua personalità creativa fuori dagli schemi e per opere di grande impatto emotivo, abbiamo parlato della sua opera “L'Ultima Cena”, realizzata in mosaico e donata alla Santa Sede. Dal minuto 1:42:20 circa, alla vigilia dei dieci anni del referendum sulla Brexit, del 23 giugno 2016, in cui il cosiddetto “Leave” vinse con il 51,89%, abbiamo approfondito il significato di quella scelta che ha visto dal 2016 al 2026 dimettersi dal numero 10 di Downing Street sei primi ministri; ultimo in ordine di tempo il dimissionario Keir Starmer. Dei rapporti della Gran Bretagna con l'Unione europea, e di questa fase travagliata, abbiamo parlato con Federico Fabbrini, Professore ordinario di diritto europeo alla Dublin City University in Irlanda, direttore e fondatore del Brexit Institute. Andrea De Angelis, vice-responsabile di Radio Vaticana - Vatican News, ci ha raggiunto in studio per un'anteprima sul palinsesto estivo. E con Marco Bellizi dell'Osservatore Romano siamo entrati nel cuore dei mari, con le denunce di Legambiente sugli illeciti nelle aree protette marine; tema approfondito nell'inserto Per la cura della casa comune del quotidiano della Santa Sede. Si ringrazia Marco Guerra, inviato presso la sede romana del Programma Alimentare Mondiale, per l'intervista con Marco Cavalcante, direttore della Divisione Programmi WFP, che chiude la trasmissione di oggi dando la linea alla radiocronaca della Visita di Leone XIV alla Sede del PAM.

We're back with Alexandre Dumas' incredible immortal heroic tale "The Three Musketeers" with Chapter 46- "The Bastion Saint-Gervais"!

“Gli affari? Semplicissimo, sono i soldi degli altri”. Con questa celebre e spietata massima di Alexandre Dumas figlio si apre il nuovo episodio di RadioBorsa, che punta i riflettori su come il capitalismo finanziario si muova costantemente alla ricerca del controllo sui capitali. Questa settimana mettiamo a confronto due mondi apparentemente lontanissimi, ma uniti dalla stessa logica: da una parte Wall Street che guarda allo spazio profondo, dall'altra Piazza Affari che combatte una guerra molto più terrena per la conquista del risparmio degli italiani.Negli Stati Uniti assistiamo al trionfo dell'iper-capitalismo interplanetario con la mastodontica IPO di SpaceX, che debutta in Borsa proiettandosi verso una valutazione record di 2.000 miliardi di dollari. Mentre Elon Musk entra nella storia come il primo trilionario ufficiale , i grandi banchieri d'affari festeggiano commissioni milionarie a suon di bistecche tomahawk e feste sui tetti. Ma dietro l'entusiasmo per razzi, satelliti e intelligenza artificiale, si nascondono valutazioni stellari e dinamiche curiose, come la "regola del pesce" nel diritto spaziale per lo sfruttamento minerario di Marte.Tornando in Italia, si gioca una partita molto più antica e spietata: il grande risiko bancario che coinvolge colossi come Intesa Sanpaolo, Monte dei Paschi, Mediobanca, Banco BPM e Unipol. L'obiettivo non è colonizzare Marte, ma costruire una vera e propria "Fortezza Italia" capace di concentrare e gestire l'iperbolica cifra di 2.000 miliardi di euro di ricchezza finanziaria nazionale. Analizziamo i rischi di questa enorme concentrazione, che potrebbe trasformare il sistema in una macchina da rendita parassitaria, riducendo la concorrenza e aumentando i costi occulti sui portafogli delle famiglie.In questo scontro tra il capitalismo dell'innovazione e quello della rendita, la domanda vitale per l'investitore resta sempre la stessa: chi ci sta guadagnando davvero con i nostri soldi? Ascolta l'episodio integrale per scoprire le dinamiche nascoste dietro queste grandi manovre finanziarie e ricorda che su SoldiExpert.com puoi sempre richiedere un check-up gratuito e indipendente per analizzare i costi reali del tuo portafoglio e assicurarti che i tuoi investimenti lavorino esclusivamente nei tuoi interessi.Questo episodio include contenuti generati dall'IA.

Steve reads an abridged version of Alexandre Dumas' swashbuckling adventure set in 17th-century France. This version contains many shocking spoilers! Young and hot-headed D'Artagnan leaves his provincial home for Paris with dreams of becoming a Musketeer of the King's Guard. Shortly after arriving, he crosses paths with three legendary musketeers, the noble Athos, the boastful Porthos, and the charming Aramis, and quickly finds himself caught up in their daring exploits. Together, they navigate a world of royal intrigue, deadly duels, secret plots, and courtly rivalries involving the ambitious Cardinal Richelieu and his cunning agents. United by loyalty and the famous motto “All for one, and one for all,” the four companions embark on a series of thrilling missions that test their bravery, friendship, and honor.

Dans l'épisode précédent, nous avons découvert l'univers des Trois Mousquetaires. Dans ce roman-feuilleton, l'écrivain Alexandre Dumas raconte une version romancée de la vie de Charles de Batz de Castelmore d'Artagnan, qui fut capitaine des mousquetaires au XVIIe siècle.

Nous sommes le 12 août 1838. Alexandre Dumas est en visite à Anvers. C'est là qu'il prend la pleine mesure de l'œuvre de Rubens et se découvre une proximité de tempérament avec le génie du baroque. Deux ans plus tard, exilé à Florence, l'écrivain se voit confier la rédaction des portraits de peintres pour la Galerie des Offices. Il se met donc à écrire, entre autre, sur le flamand et s'intéresse aux tableaux que celui-ci a réalisé d'après les commandes de Marie de Médicis, reine de France et de Navarre, épouse d'Henri IV. Chemin faisant, il s'intéresse à Louis XIII, fils d'Henri IV et de Marie de Médicis et mais aussi au Duc de Buckingham, un proche de Rubens… Et l'on peut lire, ainsi, en genèse, quelques éléments fondamentaux qui donneront, quelques années plus tard, l'un des monuments de la littérature mondiale : « Les trois mousquetaires ». Ce que Dumas doit à Rubens, c'est la leçon du jour … Sujets traités : Alexandre Dumas, Rubens, écrivain, Marie de Médicis, Henri IV, mousquetaire Avec nous : Jean-François Viot, maître en lettres romanes et en études théâtrales. Spécialiste d'Alexandre Dumas, père, auteur de « Gustave et Alexandre » ( adaptation pour le théâtre des Mémoires d'Alexandre Dumas) et du commentaire de l'ouvrage de Dumas « Rubens » sorti réédité par les éditions du CEP.

REDIFF - Amateur de bonne chair, coureur de jupons, Alexandre Dumas était un grand jouisseur devant l'éternel. Un sublime mégalo qui a brûlé la chandelle par les deux bouts, qui a voyagé par monts et par vaux, et qui s'est distingué par ses extravagances et ses folles dépenses. Il a connu le succès, les scandales et l'exil, avant de trôner au Panthéon de nos grands hommes de lettres. La vie romanesque d'Alexandre Dumas traverse le houleux XIXe siècle, en croisant les révolutions et les grands personnages. Crédits : Lorànt Deutsch, Emma Locatelli.

¿Y si una de las mayores historias de venganza de la literatura no fuera solo ficción?

Une île sauvage, interdite, chargée de légendes… et un écrivain qui, sans jamais y poser le pied, va en faire le décor du plus grand roman d'aventure du XIXe siècle. De Montecristo à Edmond Dantès, découvrez comment un simple rocher est devenu un mythe mondial.En 1842, l'écrivain Alexandre Dumas découvre l'île de Montecristo, un endroit mystérieux et légendaire qui deviendra le théâtre d'un de ses chefs-d'œuvre les plus célèbres : le Comte de Monte-Cristo.Franck Ferrand nous emmène sur les traces de Dumas, alors que ce dernier voyage en Italie avec le prince Napoléon. Fasciné par les récits de pirates et de trésors enfouis qui entourent cette île isolée et abrupte, l'auteur ne la visitera jamais, mais elle s'imposera dans son imagination comme le décor idéal pour tisser une intrigue romanesque épique.À travers la légende de San Mamiliano, moine ayant combattu un dragon, et les exploits du corsaire Dragut, Franck Ferrand dévoile les différentes couches historiques qui ont forgé la mystique de Montecristo. Cet héritage nourrit la créativité de Dumas, qui y puise l'inspiration pour son personnage d'Edmond Dantès, injustement emprisonné puis métamorphosé en Comte de Monte-Cristo, avide de vengeance.Avec son style enlevé et imagé, Franck Ferrand nous fait revivre les moments clés de la genèse de ce roman culte, de la contemplation fascinée de Dumas sur le navire à la découverte du légendaire trésor par Dantès.

Alexandre Dumas et Honoré de Balzac ne se sont pas simplement peu appréciés. Ils se sont profondément opposés, presque en tout. Leur hostilité s'est exprimée parfois publiquement, mais surtout sous forme de critiques, de piques et de rivalité idéologique que de véritables attaques frontales répétées. Une opposition profonde, mais rarement théâtralisée comme un duel ouvert.Ces deux géants du XIXe siècle incarnaient deux mondes incompatibles.D'abord, leur manière d'écrire les séparait radicalement. Balzac se voulait architecte. Il bâtissait une œuvre monumentale, La Comédie humaine, avec l'ambition de peindre la société française dans toute sa complexité. Il corrigeait sans cesse, retravaillait ses textes jusqu'à l'épuisement, noyait ses éditeurs sous les épreuves raturées. Dumas, lui, écrivait vite, beaucoup, avec panache. Il privilégiait l'élan, l'efficacité, le plaisir du récit. Là où Balzac cherchait la profondeur psychologique et la vérité sociale, Dumas revendiquait le souffle, l'aventure, le théâtre du romanesque. Balzac voyait souvent en lui un amuseur plus qu'un grand écrivain.Leur mode de vie nourrissait aussi l'antagonisme. Balzac menait une existence tendue, laborieuse, presque monastique par moments. Il écrivait la nuit, buvait du café en quantités folles, croulait sous les dettes, mais travaillait avec une discipline acharnée. Dumas, au contraire, donnait l'image d'un homme débordant de vie, sociable, prodigue, flamboyant, entouré d'amis, de maîtresses, de collaborateurs. Cette aisance apparente irritait Balzac. Dumas paraissait réussir sans souffrir autant, ce qui, pour un homme aussi obsédé par le labeur que Balzac, avait quelque chose d'insupportable.Il y avait aussi la question, très sensible, de la fabrication des œuvres. Dumas travaillait avec des collaborateurs, notamment Auguste Maquet, qui participait à l'élaboration de plusieurs romans. Ce fonctionnement choquait Balzac, attaché à l'idée de l'écrivain comme créateur total, seul maître de sa phrase. Pour lui, Dumas industrialisait la littérature. Dumas, lui, assumait davantage une logique de production, adaptée à la presse et au feuilleton.Politiquement et socialement, ils différaient encore. Balzac était conservateur, monarchiste, fasciné par les hiérarchies sociales. Dumas, plus libéral d'esprit, plus mobile politiquement, incarnait une énergie populaire et un goût du large qui déplaisaient à Balzac. À cela s'ajoutait sans doute une forme de jalousie réciproque : Balzac pouvait mépriser le succès immense et immédiat de Dumas ; Dumas pouvait voir en Balzac un homme sombre, envieux, volontiers pontifiant.Au fond, Dumas et Balzac se heurtaient parce qu'ils représentaient deux définitions inconciliables de l'écrivain. L'un voulait saisir le réel dans toute son épaisseur. L'autre voulait emporter le lecteur. Deux génies, oui, mais deux génies faits pour se regarder de travers. Hébergé par Acast.

L'Origine du monde, peint en 1866 par Gustave Courbet, est l'un des tableaux les plus célèbres — et les plus mystérieux — de l'histoire de l'art. Il représente sans détour le sexe d'une femme allongée, cadré de façon très rapprochée. Mais une question continue de fasciner : qui est cette femme ?Pendant longtemps, l'identité du modèle est restée inconnue. Le tableau, jugé scandaleux, a circulé discrètement entre collectionneurs privés, souvent caché derrière d'autres œuvres. Cette clandestinité a entretenu le mystère.Pendant des décennies, une hypothèse dominait : il s'agirait de Joanna Hiffernan, une Irlandaise rousse, compagne du peintre James McNeill Whistler et modèle fréquent de Courbet. Cette théorie reposait notamment sur la couleur des poils pubiens, qui semblait correspondre à sa chevelure.Mais en 2018, un rebondissement majeur survient.Un historien découvre une correspondance entre Alexandre Dumas fils et George Sand, évoquant explicitement le modèle du tableau. Le nom mentionné est celui de Constance Quéniaux.Qui est-elle ? Une danseuse de l'Opéra de Paris, devenue ensuite demi-mondaine — c'est-à-dire courtisane de haut rang. À l'époque, ces femmes évoluent dans les cercles artistiques et mondains, souvent liées à des hommes puissants.Et justement, L'Origine du monde a été commandé par un diplomate ottoman, Khalil-Bey, grand amateur d'art… et collectionneur d'œuvres érotiques. Or, Constance Quéniaux aurait été sa maîtresse. L'hypothèse devient alors très cohérente : Courbet aurait peint le corps d'une femme appartenant à l'entourage direct de son commanditaire.Un autre détail renforce cette piste. À la fin de sa vie, Constance Quéniaux possédait un tableau représentant des fleurs… dont certaines évoquent subtilement l'anatomie féminine. Comme un clin d'œil discret à son passé.Aujourd'hui, la majorité des historiens considère donc qu'elle est très probablement le modèle de L'Origine du monde.Mais au fond, le mystère n'est pas complètement levé — et c'est peut-être volontaire.Car le génie du tableau tient aussi à son anonymat. Le visage est absent. Le corps devient presque universel, détaché d'une identité précise. Ce n'est pas seulement une femme que Courbet peint… c'est une origine, une réalité biologique, brute, sans filtre.Et c'est peut-être pour cela que, même avec un nom, le tableau continue de déranger et de fasciner : parce qu'il montre ce que l'art avait jusque-là soigneusement évité de regarder en face.

durée : 00:28:43 - Les Nuits de France Culture - par : Philippe Garbit - Alexandre Dumas, plus connu comme romancier que comme voyageur, a pourtant parcouru l'Italie, la Russie, le Maghreb… Sans chercher à décrire, mais à partager son expérience, il a relaté ses voyages dans des récits où se mêlent ses souvenirs aux contes et légendes du folklore local. - réalisation : Virginie Mourthé - invités : Bruno de Cessole Journaliste et écrivain; André Bourin
