La dame aux camélias
Alexandre Dumas fils
A young nobleman falls hopelessly in love with a celebrated Parisian courtesan in 19th-century France.
Description
Cette histoire d'un amour impossible est l'un des plus grands chef d'oeuvres de la littérature romantique. À la fois belle et triste, elle est aussi une peinture sociale des moeurs et des mentalités de l'époque, dans un autre temps où le droit des femmes n'était pas égal à celui des hommes. - Édition Spéciale illustrée -
