The Three Musketeers
,
The Count of Monte Cristo
,
The Lady of Monsoreau ...
These masterpieces have awakened in generations of readers a burning desire for adventures, escapes, fights, and devouring romance.
Alexandre Dumas gives us portraits of men and women with extraordinary destinies, across all literary genres.
He was the author of historical novels, such as
La Reine Margot
,
Le Chevalier de Maison-Rouge
or
The Prince of Thieves
.
But also remarkable plays:
Henri III at his Court
, which places the author at the forefront of the romantic movement.
He also wrote a play in five acts composed in prose,
Antony
, which was a stunning success in 1831. Passing in front of the Théâtre de la Porte Saint-Martin, one would still think one could hear the applause of the public, mad with emotion in front of this drama .
On December 5, we commemorate the anniversary of Dumas' death in 1870. The editorial team invites you to test your knowledge of the writer.
