Georges ! un roman peu connu d’Alexandre DUMAS

C’est d’ailleurs l’anniversaire de sa naissance en ce 24 juillet 2008.

Occasion d’évoquer ce roman du Grand écrivain qui aborde le problème de la colonisation.

In a shorter piece, “Georges” (1843, George), Dumas examined the question of race and colonialism. The main character, a half-French mulatto, leaves Mauritius to be educated in France, and returns to revenge for the affronts he had suffered as a boy. Alexandre Dumas died in Puys, near Dieppe, on December 5, 1870
