More from Alexandre Dumas
"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."
"How odd and inexplicable are the paths of destiny. What intention did Providence have by ruining the one who it has raised up, and raising up the one who it has ruined?"
"Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found."
"The best way to make a man happy is to give him a chance to be generous."
"There is no man who has not at some time in his life wished for the power of invisibility."
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.
