Description
During a hunt at Fontaine-au-Rose, the young writer Alexandre Dumas meets a frightened man: a dead woman has been talking to him! The village mayor, who has gathered strange visitors in his house, insists that this is possible. His life story attests to it… Do severed heads survive decapitation? Is the guillotine a painless torture? How many questions—half fictional, half real—belong to the characters of this narrative! A collection of fantastic stories, a pamphlet against capital punishment, or scientific debate?
The novella “A Thousand and One Ghosts” (1849) asks the reader questions about the omnipotence of science and about the boundary between life and death.
