English Summary:

La Dame aux Camélias (literally The Lady with the Camellias, commonly known in English as Camille) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas fils, first published in 1848 and subsequently adapted by Dumas for the stage. La Dame aux Camélias premiered at the Théâtre du Vaudeville in Paris, France on February 2, 1852. The play was an instant success, and Giuseppe Verdi immediately set about putting the story to music. His work became the 1853 opera La traviata, with the female protagonist, Marguerite Gautier, renamed Violetta Valéry.

In the English-speaking world, La Dame aux Camélias became known as Camille and 16 versions have been performed at Broadway theatres alone. The title character is Marguerite Gautier, who is based on Marie Duplessis, the real-life lover of author Dumas, fils.

Armand falls in love with Marguerite and ultimately becomes her lover. He convinces her to leave her life as a courtesan and to live with him in the countryside. This idyllic existence is interrupted by Armand's father, who, concerned with the scandal created by the illicit relationship, and fearful that it will destroy Armand's sister's chances of marriage, convinces Marguerite to leave. Up until Marguerite's death, Armand believes that she left him for another man. Marguerite's death is described as an unending agony, during which Marguerite, abandoned by everyone, regrets what might have been

Hungarian Summary:

Ha valaki igazán kiérdemli a "végzet asszonya" címkét, az Marguerite Gautier, az ifjú párizsi kurtizán. Mégis, amikor minden idők egyik legfelkavaróbb szerelmes regényének a hősnője rátalál az igaz szerelemre, mestersége összes közhelyére rácáfolva mindent feláldoz a szenvedélyért. Mielőtt végzete beteljesedik, erről a reménytelen boldogságról is képes lemondani az őt tiszta szívből imádó, ám cselekedeteit megérteni képtelen Armand jövője érdekében. Nagylelkűsége olyan erkölcsi magasságba emeli, amelyrol az őt megvetéssel sújtó, tisztességükkel hivalkodó úriasszonyok nem is álmodhatnak.
