Chapter 499

At the beginning of 1875, a special literary incident occurred.

The French Academy holds a new round of elections.

Alexander Dumas Jr. was selected as a Fellow of the French Academy with twenty-two votes!

His works are few, far less than Balzac and Dumas, but he has received honors that these two popular novelists cannot reach in their lifetime!

"The Girl of Camellia" is completely a god!

France brought it into the supreme literary hall, and countless writers and readers were fascinated by it. Overwhelming praise over Dumas, and Jules Verne, who was a friend, shed tears of envy.

Although Wang Qiu comforted him to be brave enough to try, Jules Verne said that he would fully support Dumas to participate in the election this year and should not cause trouble.

Jules Verne did not dare to say it: I don’t want to humiliate myself.

Mainstream literature firmly defends the door of the French Academy.

Want to enter this door.

Either the power is powerful or literature shocks the world.

When Jules Verne smiled when he saw Dumas Little who was overjoyed, he said nothing wrong. Dumas Little is the most outstanding work in his life.

After celebrating his academicianship with his friends, Dumas Little brought Jules Verne, who had not yet sobered up, and went to England without stopping to contact Wang Qiu. Dumas Little never forgot to help Dumas move his tomb into the Pantheon of Paris

Something about.

Three people together.

Five votes from French academicians are within easy reach.

I thought the most difficult part was that when Dumas stepped into that circle, I suddenly realized that there were acquaintances around me, and the acquaintances were more familiar with Wang Qiu!

Victor Hugo and others voted for their sake. Jules Verne also took the initiative and won two votes for the respected Mr. Dumas.

In the end, the three won as many as ten votes for Dumas!

Aso Aki was also very happy and finally fulfilled his verbal promise.

After Victor Hugo attended the French Academy party, Aki Aso also helped the other party leave, and Victor Hugo successfully enjoyed everyone's jealous sight. This is what he was suspected of being "beauty plan".

"The reason why they voted.

The world of literati is also happy to leave popular stories.

Anyway - he is old and is confused occasionally, no one dares to argue with him.

Victor Hugo patted Akiya Aso's arm, causing ripples in the other party's eyebrows and eyes. Aso's Akiya always looked at him with kindness and respect. In several years, there were not many scenes when he met Hugo for the first time.

the difference.

"Qiu, I have helped you all the things you can do. You have to be mentally prepared."

"It's up to man."

Aso Aki doesn't think anyone can hinder him.

The focus of public opinion around the world is on him, he is a human-shaped topic. Since he made a bold statement to everyone write for him, it has greatly promoted the literary world, and no writer dared to offend him.

After achieving his goal, he was only about to be published in the newspaper. Dumas's steps were light and he felt that he had never been so happy in his life.

Back at his residence in Paris, Dumas hugged Aso Akiya hard.

"Thank you - thank you for giving me such a chance!"

"My father will definitely be happy. I have helped him get all the things he pursues. I have always complained about him, but after I got his best spiritual legacy, I just want the whole world to remember me.

Father!”

"He is not the best father, but he is my favorite father!"

Dumas let go of his arm and took out a franc that he carried in his close pocket. He showed it to Atsuki Yaya, with tears in his eyes, "I heard that you like to collect the copyright of the writer, I can't take out the copyright of my father,

But it is the legacy my father left to me.”

Aso Aki didn't know why, so he took the franc and found that it was the currency from decades ago.

Jules Verne asked: "Dummas little?"

Dumas Little is about to remember his father's face, and recalled: "When his father died, he was a pauper, with only a few coins on his body. He left me the most important franc. He said that it was when he came to Paris.

One of his possessions, he never spent the last franc in his life…”

Aso Qiu also touched the historical relics with cherishing and returned the franc.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept it. It is a collectible for me. Only in your hands is a treasure worth a thousand gold."

Dumas was moved by Wang Qiu's refusal.

Jules Verna was jealous and asked tentatively: "Dummas..."

Dumas replied without hesitation: "Don't even think about it."

Jules Verne sighed.

Dumas was thinking about the novel category that Wang Qiu liked, and planned to repay the kindness in writing, and was full of expectations for the future.

However, the reality after entering the newspaper gave Dumas a basin of cold water.

As soon as the newspaper information about Dumas entering the Pantheon appeared, the French literary and artistic circles were in an uproar. Black materials about Dumas gushed out after many years. Even Aso Qiu took precautions earlier and was still stunned.

According to statistics from the French literary and artistic circles, Dumas has more than 500 lovers!

There are countless illegitimate children!

Not only is Dumas's private life being exposed, but he is whipped by angry writers, but Dumas' writing problems are also criticized - this guy often asks people to write for him, catch his pen, and sometimes even himself

I don't know what I wrote!

The black bloodline of Dumas has become a place where people attacked. The most important thing is that Dumas was sold once by his father when he was a child! Even if he was redeemed later, it would be difficult to change Dumas' childhood experience.

Dumas is both a descendant of the French nobles and a black slave!

In short, Dumas’ bloodline, identity, personal ethics, literary works do not conform to mainstream literature, and their deeds that can show off are not qualified!

Immediately afterwards, a senior official from the French political circle expressed his opinion: "I have seen Dumas' works, and I admit that they are interesting, but what does it bring?"

Literary critics publicly accuse Victor Hugo and others of the vote: "You use your personal friendship to defile the most sacred place in France! Dumas is not worthy of entering the Pantheon, he has not made great contributions to the nation and thoughts.

!”

Those writers who once gave Wang Qiu face, after the critics first tear open the defense line, followed their true choices without hesitation.

They stood on the stance of opposing Dumas’ relocation of the grave.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang Qiu, I don't think he is qualified."

"Mr. Voltaire, Rousseau and others were buried in the Pantheon, but the achievements of carving on the tombstones were not the sales of literary works, but their spiritual thoughts."

"Yes, those are the giants of thought, the ancestors we respect."

"Dummas is a person who makes money by writing novels!"

"Someone said a long time ago that Dumas wrote a hundred novels that even his son's "The Girl of Camellia". It is obvious that writers of popular literature have the lowest status in the literary world!"

"Dummas' potential is limitless. Maybe he is qualified to enter the Pantheon in the future, but if I live for one day, I will say loudly that Dumas is not our French literary example. I don't want him to disturb the peace of the great people in the Pantheon!"

From top to bottom, the French people's dissatisfaction burst out collectively!

When the people at the bottom heard that Dumas wanted to compare with Voltaire and Rousseau and many outstanding contributions, they began to protest Dumas' entry into the Pantheon!

Whether a person is great is the lowest-class people are most qualified to express their opinions.

Dumas was stunned.

He prepared to move his grave and set off to his father's hometown. He was preparing to reconcile his father's coffin in Ville Cottlery near Paris.

"Oh no--"

Dumas Little received the worst telegram in his life. The French Academy decided to revoke the vote for Dumas to move to the Pantheon, and deeply apologized for Dumas Little, believing that the voting process was not considered and needed to be recognized by the people.

Aso Aki was also silent about this result.

The French literary world stung them back.

This is nothing. There are many writers who are jealous of Dumas and hate Dumas. What really hurts people is that the French people deny Dumas.

This is what Victor Hugo wants to remind him-

[You must be mentally prepared.]

Aso Qiu also rushed to Dumas, and Jules Verne came with him. It was raining, and the shoulders of the three of them were wet with the rain, and no one cared about the weather here anymore.

Dumas little smiled bitterly in front of his father's tombstone: "We failed."

Jules Verne whispered: "It was done by those enemies of Dumas, who deliberately smeared Mr. Dumas and belittled those works..."

Dumas interrupted his words in a hoarse voice: "No, those are true."

Jules Verne: “…”

Aso Aki also looked blank for a second, thinking of what was written in the newspaper - five hundred lovers???
