Gabriel Lambert by Alexandre Dumas
"Gabriel Lambert" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel published in 1844 as a newspaper serial. A poor young man with a talent for forgery fabricates a new identity to climb into Parisian high society. When his counterfeiting scheme is exposed, he faces execution, but his sentence is commuted to hard labor in the penal colony. The story explores themes of social ambition, identity, and capital punishment through a frame narrative that begins
with a mysterious encounter in Toulon and unfolds through discovered documents. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
