But it was not until 1827, after attending a British performance of Hamlet, that Dumas discovered a direction for his dramas. "For the first time in the theater I was seeing true passions motivating men and women of flesh and blood," he recalled. "From this time on, but only then, did I have an idea of what the theater could be." Dumas achieved instant fame on February 11, 1829, with the triumphant opening of Henri III et sa cour Antony (1831) and La Tour de Nesle Impressions de voyage: En Suisse Around 1840 Dumas embarked upon a series of historical romances inspired by both his love of French history and the novels of Sir Walter Scott. In collaboration with Auguste Maquet, he serialized Le Chevalier d'Harmental in the newspaper in 1842. Part history, intrigue, adventure, and romance, it is widely regarded as the first of Dumas's great novels. The two subsequently worked together on a steady stream of books, most of which were published serially in Parisian tabloids and eagerly read by the public. He is best known for the celebrated d'Artagnan trilogy: Les trois mousquetaires (The Three Musketeers, 1844)

document.write(''); The life and resurrection of Alexandre Dumas The grandson of a Haitian slave, he became the most famous author in France; now, his rousing Romantic novels are enjoying renewed popularity The action-packed novels of 19th-century French author Alexandre Dumas continue to intrigue millions of readers around the world, 150 years after their creation. The stories have been translated into almost a hundred languages, and the most famous, The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo , have inspired more than 100 of the 200 films based on Dumas's works. Few people know, however, that the author was the grandson of a Haitian slave, or that Dumas's mulatto father rose rapidly through the ranks of the French Army to become a legendary general by the age of 31. Though the general died young, leaving his son without an inheritance, Dumas overcame poverty, the lack of formal education, and the constant wear and tear of 19th-century racism to become one of the world's most popular writers. By the time Dumas was 35, he had laid the foundations of bourgeois drama, helped stage a Romantic revolution in theater, and helped create a new kind of Romantic novel. Dumas's life sometimes seemed as action-packed as his novels; he participated in three revolutions, courted countless women and dueled when his honor was insulted. Luckily for his fans, the lavish chateau he built outside Paris, always open to starving artists, the families of mistresses, and even strangers, has recently been restored and opened to the public.

His father died when Alexandre was four, in 1806, leaving the family in financial trouble. Although he did not have much money and had limited schooling, Alexandre had a happy childhood. In 1818, Alexandre's mother informed him that they had no money and that he had to find a job. Alexandre accepted a clerking position for the Duke of Orléans in Paris, where he worked as a clerk.

Il y a là Nanine, la servante, et le vicomte de Varville qui attendent Marguerite. Arrive Marguerite Gautier, qui rentre de l'Opéra et qui demande à Nanine de faire préparer le souper. Ils passent au salon et le vicomte de Varville se met au piano. Marguerite se moque de son obstination : ce dernier a fait livrer un bouquet de roses et de lilas blancs. Marguerite avoue au Vicomte que si son surnom est la Dame aux camélias , c'est justement parce qu'elle n'aime que ces fleurs-là et qu'il est inutile de lui en offrir d'autres. Entre un joyeux couple : Prudence et Gaston. Ils sont accompagnés d'un homme plus discret : Armand Duval, secrètement amoureux de Marguerite. Prudence et Gaston présentent Armand et apprennent à Marguerite combien Armand s'est inquiété pour sa santé. Marguerite reproche au comte de Varville, son manque d'intérêt. Armand propose alors un toast. Marguerite le remercie et indique qu'elle souhaite danser. Elle demande à Gaston de jouer.

About The Author: Novels The Count of Monte Cristo The Three Musketeers Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) As a playwright Dumas made his breakthrough with HENRI III ET SA COUR (1829), produced by the Comedie Francaise. It gained a huge success and Dumas went on to write additional plays, of which LA TOUR DE NESLE (1832, The Tower of Nesle) is considered the greatest masterpiece of French melodrama. He wrote constantly, producing a steady stream of plays, novels, and short stories. Dumas' role in the development of the historical novel owes much to a coincidence. The lifting of press censorship in the 1830s gave rise to a rapid spread of newspapers. Editors began to lure readers by entertaining serial novels. Everybody read them, the aristocracy, and the bourgeoisie, young and old, men and women. Dumas' first true serial novel was LE CAPITAINE PAUL (1838, Captain Paul), a quick rewrite of a play.
