This is the first I read Mr. Dumas rather impressive in its scope; inspired (or the reverse) it seems somewhat Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. A little less beautiful little being, probably less poetic; but more independent with respect to the history of France, craziest somehow. In any case we want it to last forever, one is overwhelmed by the power of the characters, the story, the simplicity and intelligence of the writing style (here is still a classic perfectly affordable, even for little readers seasoned). Really reading!
It is obvious that the two volumes are one and that it is therefore also reviews the 2nd volume.
