More from Alexandre Dumas
"Woman is a creature who is always in the wrong when she has a lover and in the right when she has none."
"The greatest pleasure is to be loved."
"For the happy man, time is a river; for the unhappy, it is a torrent."
"All generalizations are dangerous, even this one."
"I have always had more dread of a pen, a bottle of ink, and a sheet of paper than of a sword or pistol."
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.
