The Son of Clemenceau by Alexandre Dumas, Fiction, Literary - Dumas fils Alexandre
Dumas père took him from his mother as a child (French law then allowed that) and gave the child a marvelous education at schools that included the Institution Goubaux and the Collège Bourbon -- but he could not take from the child the memory of his mother. Dumas fils spent much of his life writing of the loss of her -- in works like Camille and this novel, The Son of Clemenceau. Alexandre Dumas fils died at Marly-le-Roi, Yvelines, on November 27, 1895; he is buried in the Cimetière de Montmartre in Paris.
"By the exact programme carried out in cities by the divisions of its population, a new contingent were coming from their resting-places to substitute themselves for the honest toilers on the thoroughfares; each cellar and attic in the rookeries were exuding the horrible vermin which shun the wholesome light of day."
