About the Author
Born the son of a military man, Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a voracious reader from early childhood.

Although it might be hard to guess from his current and long-lived popularity, Dumas faced considerable adversity for being of a mixed-race background and, sadly, was never fully accepted into many intellectual and society circles during his lifetime.
