Synopsis "Ingenue (in French)"

Marat, médecin aux écuries du comte d'Artois, et Danton, avocat, font connaissance à l'occasion de l'annonce du remplacement de M. de Brienne par Necker au poste de ministre des finances. Au cours d'un déjeuner, Marat raconte à Danton un épisode de sa jeunesse qui a bouleversé sa vie aussi bien moralement que physiquement. En Pologne, il fut le professeur de la belle comtesse Cécile Obinska dont il tomba amoureux fou. Devant son mépris, il lui fit prendre un narcotique et abusa d'elle. A la suite de quoi il fut roué de coups et laissé pour mort. Le chemin du retour en France fut long, semé d'embûches et les souffrances endurées le rendirent laid et méchant...

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.
