About this listen

 La Dame aux camélias raconte l'histoire des amants maudits, Marguerite et Armand, que les jugements moraux et la maladie vont détruire : le roman d'un désastre amoureux où les sentiments sont bafoués au profit de la bienséance sociale.

Alexandre Dumas fils s'est inspiré de sa maîtresse, la courtisane Marie Duplessis, pour créer la dame aux camélias, héroïne romanesque s'il en est, et également héroïne d'opéra à partir de 1853, quand Verdi adaptera son histoire sous le nom de La Traviata.©Domaine public (P)2006 Éditions Thélème Classics Linguistics Poetry Social Sciences

Une histoire touchante de Dumas fils, inspiré de sa propre histoire d'amour avec la courtisane Marie Duplessis, parfaitement interprétée par Elodie Hubert. Sa voix incroyable capture vraiment la beauté de cette oeuvre chargée d'émotion.

Magnifique interpretation d'une belle histoire

Initially I was losing interest in what I assumed was going to be a more amateur version of Dumas’s later page-turning pot boilers, but this novel is in a different vein. In the end Dumas does a good job of making a moral point that was clearly very radical for his time. What a damning illustration of the absurdly different standards applied to men and women. Marguerite is a much more audacious character to argue for than Tess of the d’Urbervilles.

This is a more audacious take on the Tess of the d’Urberville’s moral
