Summary "Gabriel Lambert" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to the main character, a man reflecting on his life and encounters with various intriguing figures, including convicts and a distinguished officer, as he attempts to escape the distractions of his surroundings in Toulon to focus on his writing. The novel delves into themes of identity, human dignity, and the complexities of societal roles. At the start of the story, the protagonist is living near Toulon in 1835, hoping to immerse himself in writing a significant drama, but finds himself distracted by the stunning Mediterranean landscape. As he reflects on his ambitions, he encounters a group of convicts selected as his rowers for a newly acquired boat—which he had requested from the port commandant. Among them is Gabriel Lambert, a convict whose demeanor piques the protagonist's curiosity, leading him to wonder about his past and circumstances that brought him to this point. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Gabriel Lambert's character and the relationships that develop in the backdrop of societal judgment and personal redemption.
