He lived and worked in Â鶹APP in the mid-19th century. His real name is Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, but he decided fairly early on to go by Alexandre. &#8220;Dumas&#8221; is a tribute to his grandmother, a former Haitian slave. Dumas\u2019 biracial background served as an inspiration for his fight against racism, and he even published a book on the subject called <i>Georges<\/i>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dumas started out by writing plays, and the first time his work was ever performed in Â鶹APP he was just 27 years old. He wrote plays, essays, novels, and travelogues. He had a penchant for drama and intrigue, and his works are usually quite the page-turners! Dumas also specialized in the genre, Romanticism, and was the rival of another famous French writer, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris\/top-10-interesting-facts-about-victor-hugo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Victor Hugo<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Dumas penned a whopping 100,000 pages in his lifetime, including 200 books. That\u2019s a lot to choose from, so I can understand if you\u2019re unsure where to begin! I\u2019m a Dumas lover, so let me give you some suggestions. Below are 5 of the best books written by Alexandre Dumas! <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>1. <i>The Count of Monte Cristo (Le Comte de Monte-Cristo),<\/i> 1844<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_60844\" style=\"width: 332px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/322px-louis_francais-dantes_sur_son_rocher.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60844\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60844\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/322px-louis_francais-dantes_sur_son_rocher.jpg\" alt=\"Monte Cristo\" width=\"322\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/322px-louis_francais-dantes_sur_son_rocher.jpg 322w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/322px-louis_francais-dantes_sur_son_rocher-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 322px) 100vw, 322px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60844\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Dant\u00e8s sur son rocher,&#8221; poster by Paul Gavarni for <em>The Count of Monte Cristo<\/em> by Alexandre Dumas &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">First up on my list is a novel you\u2019ve likely heard of if you\u2019re interested in French literature. <i>The Count of Monte Cristo<\/i>, or, <i>Le Comte de Monte-Cristo<\/i> in French, tells the story of a man named Edmond Dant\u00e8s. Edmond is wrongly accused of a crime and is imprisoned. He eventually escapes and gets his hands on a large sum of money. He makes it his mission in life to get revenge on the people who wrongfully accused him and put him in jail. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The novel takes place in France, Italy, and the Mediterranean. It is an adventure novel for sure, so if you like exciting reads you should check it out! There are also themes of forgiveness, hope, vengeance, and pity throughout.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp; <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. <i>The Three Musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires), <\/i>1844<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_60846\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dartagnan-musketeers.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60846\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dartagnan-musketeers.jpg\" alt=\"The Three Musketeers\" width=\"420\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dartagnan-musketeers.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/dartagnan-musketeers-263x300.jpg 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60846\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>The Three Musketeers<\/em> by Alexandre Dumas (illustration of the Appleton edition) by Maurice Leloir and Jules Huyot &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">You\u2019ve likely heard of <i>The Three Musketeers, <\/i>or,<i> Les Trois Mousquetaires <\/i>even if you\u2019re not a fan of French literature! This story has been reproduced into films, TV series, and other novels. This novel is considered to be the story that really put <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/alexandre-dumas-and-his-life-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dumas<\/a> on the map. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The novel is about a man named D&#8217;Artagnan, who is interested in joining the Musketeers of the Guard in Â鶹APP. He is not immediately accepted into the guard, but along the way, he meets a group of three other men: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. They are called the &#8220;three inseparables.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In addition to being an adventure novel, <i>The Three Musketeers <\/i>also touches on the injustices of the Ancien R\u00e9gime in France. Dumas wrote the novel at a time when France was still very much divided between those who approved of the monarchy and those who didn\u2019t. It\u2019s interesting to read from a historical standpoint as well as for entertainment!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3. <i>Twenty Years After (Vingt ans apr\u00e8s), <\/i>1845<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_60848\" style=\"width: 439px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/429px-leloir_musketeers2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60848\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/429px-leloir_musketeers2.jpg\" alt=\"Twenty Years\" width=\"429\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/429px-leloir_musketeers2.jpg 429w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/429px-leloir_musketeers2-269x300.jpg 269w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60848\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Illustration for Alexander Dumas&#8217; <em>Twenty Years After<\/em> by artist Maurice Leloir &#8211; WikiCommons<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you fell in love with the characters in <i>The Three Musketeers, <\/i>you\u2019ll love the sequel to the novel, <i>Twenty Years After, <\/i>or,<i> Vingt ans apr\u00e8s. <\/i>This time, the musketeers are tasked with protecting the young King Louis XIV of France and King Charles I of England in the midst of several civil wars across Europe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">If you really can\u2019t get enough of this story, don\u2019t miss the third installment in the series, separated into three sections in English: <i>The Vicomte de Bragelonne<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\">,&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><i>Louise de la Valliere<\/i><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><i>,<\/i> and&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/paris-biggest-mystery-the-man-with-the-iron-mask\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i>The Man in the Iron Mask<\/i><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>4. <i>La Reine Margot, <\/i>(1845)<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_60850\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/eugene_lampsonius.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60850\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60850\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/eugene_lampsonius.jpg\" alt=\"La reine Margot\" width=\"500\" height=\"607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/eugene_lampsonius.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/eugene_lampsonius-247x300.jpg 247w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-60850\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eug\u00e8ne Lampsonius, a character in <em>La Reine Margot (Queen Margot)<\/em>, by Alexandre Dumas, illustrated by E.
