  • First published:
  • 19th century

  • Content type: Fiction

"Les mille et un fantômes" by Alexandre Dumas is a collection of tales published in 1849. This work presents a series of fantastic stories framed by a central narrative. The author himself appears as narrator, drawn into a mysterious murder case involving a man who claims his beheaded wife spoke to him. This leads to a dinner where guests share increasingly strange tales. Dumas ventures into the supernatural, departing from his historical fiction to explore the shadowy boundary between reality and imagination. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
