About the author
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas père, to distinguish him from his similarly named son, is a towering figure in French literature. Born in Villers-Cotterêts, France, Dumas made his mark with his historical novels and plays, which have enthralled readers for nearly two centuries. His works blend adventure, history, and romance, capturing the dimensions of human drama against the backdrop of European events. Dumas' literary career took flight with the drama 'Henry III and His Courts' (1829), followed by the play 'Christine' (1830). However, it is his novels of high adventure that earned him lasting fame. 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'The Three Musketeers' stand at the forefront of his oeuvre, both exemplifying his distinctive style—a mix of historical fact, extravagant fiction, and enthralling storytelling. These novels are included in the 'ALEXANDRE DUMAS Premium Collection - 27 Novels in One Volume' compilation, which showcases his versatility and prolificacy. Dumas' writing is marked by fast-paced action, a lively dialogue, and a liberal touch of humor. Beyond entertainment, his works often reflect themes of justice, honor, and the trials of illustrious characters navigating the complexities of society and fate. His contributions to literature have secured him a permanent place in the pantheon of great authors and continue to be celebrated in adaptations across various media.
