More from Alexandre Dumas
"The only way to escape the responsibility of your actions is to die."
"I am a French man, and I love my country."
"Hatred is blind; anger is deaf: he who pours oil on the fire only increases the flame."
"How can one live without a touch of madness?"
"Often we pass beside happiness without seeing it, without looking at it, or even if we have seen and looked at it, without recognizing it."
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.
