Alexandre Dumas admired the Pantheon from afar, and the illustrious figures laid to rest there. Like Chateaubriand, who deplored the fate of the “de-pantheonised” Mirabeau, he considered what his own glorious tomb could be: his oeuvre. This book retraces the posthumous thought of Dumas and his work.

Review - French Alexandre Dumas admirait de loin le Pantheon et les morts illustres qui s'y sont fraye un chemin. Comme Chateaubriand, qui deplorait le sort de Mirabeau depantheonise, il a pense a ce que pourrait etre son glorieux tombeau : son oeuvre. Ce livre montre que l'homme a vecu trop intensement la gloire litteraire autant que l'indifference la plus tenace pour ne pas s'interesser au sort posthume qui l'attendait en tant qu'ecrivain. Memorialiste, feuilletoniste, grand voyageur litteraire et grand cuisinier, Dumas accomplit lucidement un travail de memoire qui supplante tout acquiescement discret a la mort. Maitre de sa gloire, il en digere l'idee dans une serenite absolue ou meme la devance proprement par un festin de mets et de mots.
