Synopsis "Le Corricolo (in French)"

Le Corricolo est une oeuvre d'Alexandre Dumas publiée en 1843, où il évoque le voyage qu'il effectue de Rome à Naples en 1835, avec le peintre Louis Godefroy Jadin. Il conclut les impressions de voyage de l'auteur dans le Royaume de Naples par son séjour à Naples, en faisant suite au Speronare et au Capitaine Aréna qui relataient respectivement ses voyages en Sicile et en Calabre. Le titre fait référence au moyen de transport que Dumas utilisa pour visiter la région de Naples. Comme l'explique Dumas, Le corricolo est une espèce de tilbury primitivement destiné à contenir une personne et à être attelé d'un cheval; on l'attèle de deux chevaux, et il charrie de douze à quinze personnes. Cet ouvrage, recueil d'anecdotes, d'historiettes, de portraits, de bons mots et de récits de promenades, témoigne de l'attrait d'Alexandre Dumas pour Naples. Il est toujours un excellent guide de voyage pour cette ville.

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.
