In zijn verdere leven zette hij zijn verdriet om in stille schilderkunst.

L'histoire de Rodrigue et Chimène est bien connue : tout concourt au bonheur des deux amants, jusqu'à ce que Rodrigue accepte, question d'honneur, de se battre en duel contre le père de Chimène. Vaincu, il
perd la vie ; vainqueur, il perd Chimène, donc la vie. L'essence du dilemme cornélien tient en ces quelques mots, et c'est tout l'art de Corneille que d'inventer une issue à cette tragédie en apparence inextricable. FRE 910.9198 DUBRE
Dubreuil, Nicolas. Mystères polaires. Des énigmes autour du monde polaire qui racontent l'histoire des plus grands explorateurs, des zones militaires de la fin de la guerre froide, de la base américaine construite sous le Groenland, de l'île de Sannikov, de la cité utopique soviétique nommée Pyramiden, etc. Passant plus de huit mois par an près des pôles (notamment au Groenland), l’explorateur Nicolas Dubreuil sillonne en kayak, à ski, en traîneau et à pied les r gions de l’Arctique et de l’Antarctique. Il revient sur les traces des plus grands explorateurs, ou ou visite des zones militaires oubliées depuis la fin de la guerre froide... Par ailleurs, grâce à son activité de conférencier, il évoque Camp Century, la base nucléaire secrète construite par les États-Unis sous la calotte glaciaire du Groenland dans les ann es 1960; l’île fantôme de Sannikov qui influença les plus grands auteurs de SF; la conquête de l’Antarctique par les nazis; Pyramiden, la cit utopique de l’Empire sovi tique, qui comptera jusqu’à 2 500 habitants; les mensonges du navigateur de Kerguelen qui, plutôt que d’avouer n’avoir jamais pos les pieds sur les îles du même nom, invente un monde paradisiaque quand il revient à la cour de ouis XV... Autant d’histoires que l’auteur s’attache à mettre en scène de façon romanesque tout en les décryptant de manière très sérieuse.
