More from Alexandre Dumas
"I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest."
"To learn to read is to light a fire; every word spelled out is a spark."
"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."
"The pen is mightier than the sword."
"How can we expect a man to be as good as his word when he has no good word in him?"
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.
