Synopsis "Gabriel Lambert"

Séjournant à Toulon en 1835, l'auteur croise un forçat dont le visage lui est familier. La véritable identité de cet homme, Gabriel Lambert, lui est inconnue. Et pourtant, lorsque celui-ci se présente sous un autre nom, celui du vicomte Henri de Faverne, ses souvenirs lui reviennent: il fut naguère le témoin d'un duel opposant le dit vicomte à l'un de ses amis ayant mis en cause sa prétendue noblesse. De retour à paris, Dumas retrouve le docteur Fabien qui soigna Faverne à l'issue du duel où il fut blessé et retranscrit alors le journal de ce dernier. Le médecin, qui soigne son patient, devine peu à peu qu'un lourd secret pèse sur la conscience de ce dernier et qu'il n'est sans doute pas celui qu'il prétend être...

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.
