Description

Alexandre Dumas fils was the illegitimate son of a Paris dressmaker and the renowned author of The Three Musketeers. Dumas pere took him from his mother as a child (French law then allowed that), and gave the child a marvelous education at schools that included the Institution Goubaux and the College Bourbon -- but he could not take from the child the memory of his mother. Dumas fils spent much of his life writing of the loss of her -- in works like Camille and this novel, The Son of Clemenceau. Alexandre Dumas fils died at Marly-le-Roi, Yvelines, on November 27, 1895; he is buried in the Cimetiere de Montmartre in Paris.

Author Biography:

Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) 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 and published in 2005, becoming a bestseller. It was published in English in 2008 as The Last Cavalier. Prolific in several genres, Dumas began his career by writing plays, which were successfully produced from the first. He also wrote numerous magazine articles and travel books; his published works totaled 100,000 pages.
