Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas père (‘father’ to distinguish him from his son), was a giant in the French literary world. He was born in Villers-Cotterêts, France, the son of a general in Napoleon’s army. Dumas made his mark with his numerous plays, historical novels, and adventure stories that blended historical accuracy with an undeniable gift for storytelling. His writing career reached its pinnacle with the publication of the d’Artagnan Romances, which included ‘The Three Musketeers’ and its sequels, and the Marie Antoinette Series, where ‘THE MEMOIRS OF A PHYSICIAN’—a colossal narrative blending historical fact and romanticized fiction—stands as a compelling testament to his fascination with the French Revolution and its figures. Dumas’ literary style mixes comprehensive research, vivid character development, and high drama, creating works that have not only entertained but also informed readers for over a century. Despite living in the 19th century, Dumas remains a globally celebrated figure; his works have been translated into many languages, and they have continued to be adapted for stage, film, and television, attesting to their enduring legacy and the captivating power of his storytelling.
