Autorenporträt
Alexandre Dumas, born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie on July 24, 1802, in Villers-Cotterêts, France, was a well-known French writer famous for his adventure novels. His father, General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, was of mixed race, the son of a French nobleman and an enslaved woman from Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). After his father died in 1806, Dumas and his family struggled financially. This hardship eventually led him to move to Paris in 1822 to pursue a career in writing.In Paris, Dumas quickly found success as a playwright, gaining fame with works like Henri III et sa cour in 1829. He then turned to novels, creating serialized works that captivated a wide audience. His most famous novels, The Three Musketeers (1844) and The Count of Monte Cristo (1844-1846), wove historical events with vibrant fiction. These stories established Dumas as a literary icon, and his works have since been translated into many languages.Despite his success, Dumas faced financial challenges due to his lavish lifestyle and ambitious projects, like founding the Théâtre Historique in Paris. He spent time abroad, including periods in Belgium and Russia, before returning to France. Dumas died on December 5, 1870, in Puys, near Dieppe, leaving a legacy that continues to influence literature and inspire adaptations worldwide.
