More from Alexandre Dumas
"A good laugh is sunshine in the house."
"I am a man who has tasted every pleasure and every sorrow."
"Love is the most selfish of all the passions."
"Man is an enigma, and he can only be solved by himself."
"The difference between us and the English is that they are always thinking of what they are going to say, and we are always thinking of what we have said."
About Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870)
French Romantic novelist whose The Three Musketeers (1844) and The Count of Monte Cristo (1844-46) defined the historical-adventure novel and were translated into more languages than any other French author. Closely associated with Victor Hugo (French Romantic peer and Les Misérables author). For an intellectual contrast, see Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) — Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1856) replaced Dumas's swashbuckling adventure with psychological-realist detail — Flaubert's three-month searches for the right adjective are the precise opposite of Dumas's serial-installment plot-machine. French literature pivoted from Romantic to Realist in a single generation, with Dumas and Flaubert as the cleanest poles.
