Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Writings of Alexandre Dumas, 1802-1870 The centenary of the birth of Alexandre Dumas pere occurred in July of this year. As no satisfactory "Life" of the great Frenchman exists in English, this was thought an appropriate moment for giving the public, with whom his romances are so popular, an account of Dumas's life, character, and writings, which should be both interesting to the ordinary reader, and trustworthy as a book of reference. The author has endeavoured to tell the general reader - "the man in the public library" - who Dumas was, what he did, which books he did write and which he did not write, and finally, what his confreres and the great critics have said of him. One or two points may be dealt with here, by way of anticipating obvious criticism. The first relates to the omission from the following pages of the spiteful libels of MM. "de Mirecourt," de Cas-sagnac, etc. It is almost impossible at this date for an)- one, particularly an Englishman, to take the circumstantial allegations of these gentlemen and refute them in detail.

From Birth To Manhood And Fame (1802-30) Ik, like Defoe, we were about to offer fiction in the guise of biography, instead of biography in a more or less romantic form, we should be tempted to preface the story of Dumas with one of those elaborate sub-titles in which the author of " Robinson Crusoe" delighted. It would probably run somewhat in this fashion, if we allowed ourselves to prepare one, which of course we do not: -- "The life and adventures of Alcxandre Dumas of the World, who was both a black and a white man; a Royalist and a Republican, an aristocrat and a sans-culotte; who took part in three revolutions, and made three different reputations; who wrote more books than any other man living or dead, w/io erected tiuo "Monte Cristos," one of which made his fortune and the other of which unmade it; who enriched the world and was poor all his life; together with an account of his exploits as dramatist, romancer, traveller, politician, wit, journalist, diplomatist, soldier, lecturer, cook, historian, poet, etc." Before this Alexander entered the world he was about to conquer, much was already his own by inheritance. He was born into the atmosphere of fiery light and fierce heat which the Revolution had left behind it. He was destined to possess a good share of blue and of black blood, for his grandfather was no other than the Marquis AntoineAlexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, a French nobleman, self-exiled to San Domingo, and his grandmother was a negro-woman, Louise-Cessette Dumas. It was a romantically ill-assorted match, full of interesting possibilities. The son of this marriage threw over parentage and aristocracy, enlisted in the French army as a private under his mother's name, and at thirty-one years of age had risen to the...

About The Book Alexandre Dumas pere, the great French novelist and dramatist, who here tells the story of his youth, was born on July 24, 1802, and died on December 5, 1870. He was a man of prodigious vitality, virility, and invention; abounding in enjoyment, gaiety, vanity, and kindness; the richness, force, and celerity of his nature was amazing. In regard to this peculiar vivacity of his, it is interesting to remember that one of his grandparents was a full-blooded negress. Dumas' literary work is essentially romantic; his themes are courage, loyalty, honour, love, pageantry, and adventure; he belongs to the tradition of Scott and Schiller, but as a story-teller excels every other. His plays and novels are both very numerous; the "OEuvres Completes," published between 1860 and 1884, fill 277 volumes. Probably "Monte Cristo" and "The Three Musketeers" are the most famous of his stories. He was an untiring and exceedingly rapid worker, a great collaborator employing many assistants, and was also a shameless plagiarist; but he succeeded in impressing his own quality on all that he published. Besides plays and novels there are several books of travel. His son, Alexandre, was born in 1824. The "Memoirs," published in 1852, which are here followed through their author's struggles to his triumph, may be the work of the novelist as well as of the chronicler, but they give a most convincing impression of his courageous and brilliant youth, fired equally by art and by ambition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Adventures of Alexander Dumas, Vol. 1 of 2 It might, perhaps, be thought that the duty of preparing a Memoir of Alexander Dumas should have been left to his own countrymen, and not have been attempted by one labouring under the disadvantage of being a foreigner. To this it may be answered, that for the mere dealing with the more interesting and piquant portions of his life, no national gifts or special citizenship required. In some respects Dumas was more an Eastern rather than a Frenchman; and, with a characteristic love of display, he seemed to strive that everything he did or wrote should attract the attention, not of his own countrymen merely, but of all Europe. For the same reason, too, the writer of his life might be tolerably independent of what is almost essential in other cases, viz., family correspondence, and the like.

Book excerpt: The Borgais is the narrative of the events surrounding the Borgias and their many criminal and corrupt deads by the famous French author Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre Dumas, born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie; 24 July 1802 - 5 December 1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas, père ("father"), was a French writer. His works have been translated into nearly 100 languages and he is one of the most widely read French authors. Many of his historical novels of high adventure were originally published as serials, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later. His novels have been adapted since the early twentieth century for nearly 200 films. Dumas' last novel, The Knight of Sainte-Hermine, unfinished at his death, was completed by a scholar Claude Schopp who was the leading authority on Dumas and published in 2005, becoming a best seller. It was published in English in 2008 as The Last Cavalier.
