Introduction


Alexandre Dumas
Popular in his own time, Dumas has remained a favorite storyteller among generations of readers throughout the world. His best-known works are the novels Les trois mousquetaires (1844; The Three Musketeers; or, The Feats and Fortunes of a Gascon Adventurer) and Le comte de Monte-Cristo (1845; The Count of Monte Cristo), adventure stories that abound with swordfights, lavish costumes, beautiful women, and narrow escapes. But these represent a minute portion of writings produced by this enormously prolific author, whose published novels, plays, stories, essays, and other works number in the hundreds. -- Alexandre Dumas Criticism
