Synopsis "Bric-À-Brac (in French)"

Bric-à-brac est un recueil de textes variés répartis en deux séries, dont la deuxième a été rééditée sous le nom de Propos d'art et de cuisine. Comme le nom l'indique, Dumas raconte dans ce texte les circonstances qui lui ont fait écrire à Marseille en quatre jours le drame des Forestiers (tiré de son roman Catherine Blum). Il en profite aussi pour nous raconter entre autres comment il est rentré en possession d'un chastre, oiseau qu'il avait fini par croire imaginaire, sa rencontre avec un batelier qui lui voue une grande reconnaissance depuis la parution du Comte de Monte-Cristo et le flot de touristes qui traverse pour aller au château d'If, et enfin LA recette pour obtenir un poulet rôti succulen.

Alexandre Dumas is one of the most prolific and popular authors from France. He was born in 1802 in the city of Villers-Cotterets, and soon moved to Paris to work as a secretary for the Duke of Orléans. There, he completed his education on his own and began to take an interest in writing.
He started by writing plays, and then moved on to poems and long stories. However, his real success did not come until 1844, the year he released the work that would catapult him to fame: The Three Musketeers. The serial publication of this novel brought him a huge sum of money, but it also meant countless hours of work, many collaborators, and the production of up to eighty installments to meet the growing public demand.
After the publication of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas amassed a great fortune. However, his hedonistic nature led him to squander all he had earned and he soon found himself forced to exile in Belgium to escape his French creditors.
The Count of Monte Cristo, the pinnacle of the author's narrative, is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time.
