Dumas in 1855
|
Alexandre Dumas 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.
