Summary "Le corricolo" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story unfolds in Naples, focusing on the intriguing and lively interactions of its characters as they navigate the vibrant city while traveling in the unique mode of transport known as the corricolo, a horse-drawn carriage. The book juxtaposes the whimsical nature of this vehicle with the societal intricacies and relationships of its passengers. The opening of "Le corricolo" introduces us to the titular carriage and its humorous capacity to cram a large number of people into a small space, creating a lively tableau that reflects the chaos and camaraderie of Neapolitan life. We meet a diverse cast, including a hefty monk at the center of the assembled crowd, various women and their husbands, along with children playing beneath the carriage. As the story progresses, we’re introduced to characters such as M. Martin Zir, an esteemed hotelier, and the deposed Dey of Algiers, who faces challenges due to the restrictions of his previous entitlements. The narrative cleverly sets the stage for a tale steeped in comedy and social commentary, blending the everyday realities of the city with the dramatic twists of its characters' lives.
