This man used his unpublished story, "Bibi," as the basis for that tale of the rebellion of Bras-Coupe. In another of his novels, the pirate Ursin Lemaitre converts himself into an upright banker named Vignevielle in order to marry the(*) half-black Olive. In this man's most famous novel, Agricola Fusilier wins the estate Fausse Riviere in a card game, then kills his opponent in a duel for accusing him of cheating; that duel sets up the interfamilial conflict which hinders Honore from marrying Aurora Nancanou.
