Synopsis "Ange Pitou: Tome 2 (in French)"

Le lendemain se leva; brillant et pur comme la veille, un soleil éblouissant dorait les marbres et le sable de Versailles. Les oiseaux groupés par milliers sur les premiers arbres du parc saluaient de leurs cris assourdissants le nouveau jour de chaleur et de gaieté promis à leurs amours. La reine était levée à cinq heures. Elle fit prier le roi de passer chez elle aussitôt qu'on l'aurait réveillé. Louis XVI, un peu fatigué par la réception d'une députation de l'Assemblée qui était venue la veille, et à laquelle il avait été forcé de répondre R c'était le commencement des discours R, Louis XVI avait dormi un peu plus tard pour réparer sa fatigue et pour qu'il ne fût pas dit qu'en lui la nature perdrait quelque chose. Aussi, à peine l'eut-on habillé, que la prière de la reine lui parvint comme il passait l'épée; il fronça légèrement le sourcil.

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.
