Produktbeschreibung
First published in 1848, "The Lady of the Camellias" is a novel by Alexandre Dumas fils. The novel was subsequently adapted by Dumas for the stage.

Known to all as “ the Lady of the Camellias” because she is never seen without her favorite flowers, Marguerite Gautier is the most beautiful, brazen, and expensive courtesan in all of Paris. But despite having many lovers, she has never really loved—until she meets Armand Duval, young, handsome, and hopelessly in love with her.

One of the greatest love stories of all time, this novel has fascinated generations of readers. Dumas's subtle and moving portrait of a woman in love is based on his own love affair with one of the most desirable courtesans in Paris. The novel has been inspiration for Verdi’s opera La Traviata, the Oscar-winning musical Moulin Rouge!, and numerous ballets, stage plays and films.
Autorenporträt
Alexandre Dumas fils (1824-1895) was a French author and playwright, best known for the romantic novel La Dame aux Camélias (The Lady of the Camellias), which was adapted into Giuseppe Verdi's opera La Traviata. The great success of the novel and the play launched his career as a dramatist. He was not only more renowned than his father (also well-know French author) during his lifetime, but also dominated the serious French stage for most of the second half of the 19th century. Dumas fils was admitted to the Académie française and awarded the Légion d'honneur.
