Synopsis "Georges (in French)"

Roman de jeunesse, roman personnel, Georges reprend en les adaptant maints éléments de l'histoire familiale de Dumas. Saint-Domingue fait place à l'Ile de France, colonie exotique dont la prospérité repose sur l'esclavage. Georges est de sang mêlé, comme Dumas et son père. Son nom et son séjour brillant à Paris rappellent évidemment le chevalier de Saint-Georges, avec qui le général Dumas combattit dans la légion des Américains et du Midi (lointain écho de la troupe noire conduite par Pierre Munier). Quant à la révolte des nègres, Dumas établit lui-même la comparaison avec le soulèvement de Saint-Domingue et l'indépendance d'Haïti, thème qui garda par la suite une certaine actualité (Bug-Jargal de Victor Hugo en 1826, Toussaint Louverture de Lamartine en 1840, "bons d'Haïti" dans Le Comte de Monte-Cristo). L'identification va bien sûr jusqu'à l'auteur: métis, il fut l'objet de sarcasmes ("Grattez l'écorce de M. Dumas et vous trouverez le sauvage", Eugène de Mirecourt). Cet unique roman consacré aux "frères de sang et amis de couleur", double manifeste contre le racisme et la condition servile, s'insurge contre l'absurdité du préjugé dont est victime un homme d'une exceptionnelle valeur (Georges), l'exploitation de l'homme par l'homme (les esclaves des Malmédie), et la détresse du déracinement (exprimée avec beaucoup de force dans le personnage de Nazim).

View Author's Page
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.
