More from Alexandre Dumas
"That which is actually good never alters."
"There is no such thing as a natural death: nothing that ever happens to a man is ever natural, since his presence calls the world into question."
"I have loved much, suffered much, and learned much."
"The wretched and the miserable should turn to their fellow sufferers rather than to the happy for sympathy and advice."
"We are always in a hurry to be happy, for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune."
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.
