En pleine Guerre du Caucase qui voit l'expansion de l'Empire Russe annexer les khanats du Caucase, Alexandre Dumas sillonne la région avec humour de la Mer Caspienne aux côtes de la Mer Noire. Il se révèle être un portraitiste exceptionnel mais surtout un fin observateur de la présence russe et des différents peuples qui composent le Caucase, tandis que la figure charismatique d'Imam Schamyl organise la résistance. A travers la Géorgie, l'Ossétie, l'Ingouchie, l'Arménie, l'Azerbaïdjan ainsi qu'une partie de la Tchétchénie et du Daghestan modernes, Dumas esquisse des subtilités méconnues du grand public dans un ensemble pourtant déjà trouble. Un récit vivant et fabuleusement riche qui ne manque pas d'actualité. Nouvelle édition.
