This file was produced from images generously made available by the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF/Gallica) "Les mille et un fantômes" by Alexandre Dumas is a collection of fantastical tales written in the early 19th century. The book reflects on themes of loss, nostalgia, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing society, primarily through a series of ghostly narratives. Dumas himself serves as a narrator, blending personal reflection with interwoven stories of the past. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for an exploration of bygone elegance and societal norms, as Dumas muses on the loss of courtoisie in contemporary society. He addresses a friend, teasingly responding to a request for lighter tales amidst serious political undertones of the time. This frame introduces a somber tone as he openly acknowledges that his stories may not be cheerful, instead unfolding tales drawn from both personal memories and the ghostly remnants of a society that has faded. He vividly evokes imagery of the past while alluding to a specific encounter in Fontenay-aux-Roses, establishing a tension between the familiar and the spectral as he prepares the reader for the 'ghost stories' to come.
