More from Alexandre Dumas
"One day, when I am old, I shall sit by the fire and remember that I have been happy."
"I am a French man, and I love my country."
"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."
"Happiness is like one of those palaces on an enchanted island, its gates guarded by dragons. One must fight to gain it."
"To forgive our enemies is a charming idea; but I am not a charming person."
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.
