About the Book

Corysandre Extrait; Note: L'épisode qui précède a pour titre: la Duchesse d'Arvernes. I La saison de Bade était dans tout son éclat; et une lutte qui s'était établie entre deux joueurs russes, le prince Savine et le prince Otchakoff, offrait aux curieux et à la chronique les péripéties les plus émouvantes. C'était pendant l'hiver précédent que le prince Otchakoff avait fait son apparition dans le monde parisien, et en quelques mois, par ses gains ou ses pertes, surtout par le sang-froid imperturbable et le sourire dédaigneux avec lesquels il acceptait une culotte de cinq cent mille francs, il s'était conquis une réputation tapageuse qui avait failli donner la jaunisse au prince Savine, habitué depuis de longues années à se considérer orgueilleusement comme le seul Russe digne d'occuper la badauderie parisienne. C'était un petit homme chétif et maladif que ce prince Otchakoff et qui, n'ayant pas vingt-cinq ans, paraissait en avoir quarante, bien qu'il fût blond et imberbe. Dans ce Paris où l'on rencontre tant de physionomies ennuyées et vides, on n'avait jamais vu un homme si triste, et rien qu'à le regarder avec ses traits fatigués, ses yeux éteints, son visage jaune et ridé, son attitude morne, on était pris d'une irrésistible envie de bâiller. Après avoir essayé de tout il avait trouvé qu'il n'y avait que le jeu qui lui donnât des émotions, et il jouait pour se sentir vivre autant que pour faire du bruit en ce monde, ce qui était sa grande, sa seule ambition.
About the Author: Hector-Henri Malot dit Hector Malot, né le 20 mai 1830 à La Bouille, non loin de Rouen, et décédé le 18 juillet 1907 à Fontenay-sous-Bois, est un romancier français. Biographie: Veuf, son père, notaire, épouse en secondes noces la veuve d'un capitaine au long cours. Les deux époux ont, de leur premier mariage, chacun deux enfants. Hector est donc le benjamin d'une famille que l'on dirait aujourd'hui recomposée . Enfance et adolescence: Alors que le père manifestait un caractère rigide empreint d'une certaine sévérité, la mère, plus conciliante, berçait l'enfant de récits de voyages (peut-être inspirés par ceux de son premier époux). Elle développa ainsi son goût pour les histoires. Lorsqu'à l'âge adulte, il s'opposa à la volonté paternelle, préférant la voie des lettres aux études de droit, elle le soutint dans son choix. Le jeune Hector fit ses études au lycée Corneille de Rouen où Gustave Flaubert l'avait précédé dix ans plus tôt. Il s'y lia d'amitié avec celui qui fut quelque temps le secrétaire de Sainte-Beuve, Jules Levallois, futur critique littéraire. Ses études ne furent pas brillantes; il souffrit d'un système scolaire dans lequel il ne pouvait pas s'exprimer. Ses préférences allaient à l'histoire dont l'enseignant était un original, à l'esprit libre.
