Historique
Alexandre Dumas was born in Picardy. His father, General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, the son of a white French aristocrat and a black Haitian slave, died when Alexandre was a young child and he was brought up by his mother. As a young man he moved to Paris to work for the Duc d'Orleans (later King Louis-Phillipe) and started writing articles and plays, subsequently branching out into novels and historical essays. Publications include The Count of Monte-Cristo and The Three Musketeers. He was a commercial success as a writer, but not always popular with the changing political regimes. One of his illegitimate sons, also Alexandre Dumas (now known as Dumas fils), also became a successful writer.
Publications include The Count of Monte-Cristo and The Three Musketeers.
