ISBN: 9781503152021 / Francuski / Miękka / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dans ce roman, on retrouve Alphonse Daudet, sous son visage le moins connu: celui d'un romancier au ton bien plus acide et ironique que du temps de nos annees de lycee. Ce roman dans lequel il decrit les coulisses de l'Academie Francaise a travers le professeur Leonar Astier-Rehu, auvergnat solide et tetu, est le couronner de la longue polemique qui a toujours mis aux pris les tenants de la liberte en Art et les representants de l'esprit reactionnaire de l'Academie. Le professeur Astier-Rehu consacrera toute sa vie l'erudition dans le seul but de faire partie de la venerable " Coupole de...

Pour combler l'ennui, il promet a son maitre de lui raconter la suite de ses aventures amoureuses. Mais ce recit est sans cesse interrompu soit par son maitre, soit par des interventions ou incidents exterieurs, soit par des histoires autonomes venant se substituer au recit initial, soit par des discussions entre le narrateur et le lecteur."

ISBN: 9781505224566 / Francuski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ce roman oublie est un chef-d' uvre unique chez Dumas. Il aurait pu etre signe de Sterne, ou de Swift c'est dans leur ton qu'il evoque la traite des noirs. Le recit est plein de gaiete et de verve, de burlesque parodique: on y trouve les grandes scenes du roman d'aventures, la prise du navire marchand, la mutinerie a bord, l'Amerique de Fenimore Cooper. Les personnages sont empruntes a la tradition comique: l'Anglais en proie au spleen, le trompeur, le gourmand, le niais, le chef indien. C'est aussi une uvre sombre: une suite de morts, animaux massacres, esclaves tues en route, immigrants...
