O ovoj e-knjizi
This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumas's work "Martin Guerre". It was first published as part of his eight-volume series "Celebrated Crimes" (1839-40), and recounts the unbelievable story of a famous case of imposture in sixteenth-century France. Some years subsequent to leaving his wife and child, a peasant purporting to be Guerre returns and starts living with Guerre's wife and child. After three years, the imposter is discovered for what he is, which results in his true identity being discovered and his subsequent incarceration. During the trial, the genuine Martin Guerre comes back to the village. As with Dumas's other stories in "Celebrated Crimes", it constitutes a thrilling and highly entertaining retelling of the events that is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Dumas's seminal work. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his decidedly extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
O autoru
After an idle youth, Alexandre Dumas went to Paris and spent some years writing. A volume of short stories and some farces were his only productions until 1927, when his play Henri III (1829) became a success and made him famous. It was as a storyteller rather than a playwright, however, that Dumas gained enduring success. Perhaps the most broadly popular of French romantic novelists, Dumas published some 1,200 volumes during his lifetime. These were not all written by him, however, but were the works of a body of collaborators known as "Dumas & Co." Some of his best works were plagiarized. For example, The Three Musketeers (1844) was taken from the Memoirs of Artagnan by an eighteenth-century writer, and The Count of Monte Cristo (1845) from Penchet's A Diamond and a Vengeance. At the end of his life, drained of money and sapped by his work, Dumas left Paris and went to live at his son's villa, where he remained until his death.
