More from Alexandre Dumas
"I am a man of passions, and I do not regret them."
"The greatest pleasure is to be loved."
"Until the day when God shall deign to reveal the future to man, all human wisdom is summed up in these two words: Wait and hope."
"I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol."
"There are some misfortunes which are so great that we dare not think of them, and yet we must never lose sight of them."
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.
