More from Alexandre Dumas
"The difference between treason and patriotism is only a matter of dates."
"If God is for us, who can be against us?"
"He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness."
"Revenge is a dish best served cold."
"The human heart is a strange thing. It is capable of the greatest love and the greatest hatred."
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.
