Handwritten manuscript in French entitled ‘Le Brigandage,’ 8.5 x 11, five pages, written in Dumas’s hand and signed at the conclusion, “Alex. Dumas.” Manuscript begins (translated): “The one thing which amazes us more than anything else is that the Bourbon newspapers insist on regarding brigandage as a justifiable manifestation of their political views.” The manuscript goes on to mention the War in the Vendee; it is most likely related to Dumas’s novel Les Louves de Machecoul, which deals with the Vendee uprising. Central vertical and horizontal folds, light scattered creases, and small edge chips and tears, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by a full translation. An exceedingly scarce and desirable work by the acclaimed French author. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
