Giới thiệu về tác giả

Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) was a French writer whose works have transcended time and cultural boundaries, often considered among the most popular authors of the 19th century. Born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie in Villers-Cotterêts, France, he later adopted ‘Dumas’ from his grandmother, a slave of Afro-Caribbean ancestry. His novels are characterized by adventure themes, a strong sense of historicity, and a memorable fusion of action and dialogue, elements best seen in ‘The Three Musketeers’ and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo.’ His literary career expanded beyond these celebrated novels to include plays, articles, and serial novels.
In ‘Taking the Bastile; Or, Pitou the Peasant’ (originally titled ‘Ange Pitou’), Dumas unfolds a narrative set against the backdrop of the French Revolution. This historical adventure, lesser-known compared to his iconic works, still showcases his knack for blending real events with fiction, creating an immersive reading experience. His protagonists often grapple with societal norms, injustice, and destiny, reflecting both the tumult of their times and timeless human struggles. While some scholars critique Dumas for historical liberties, few can dispute his craftsmanship in breathing life into the annals of history and his influence on historical fiction as a genre. His writing has not only enchanted readers but has been adapted into numerous films, plays, and television series, ensuring his legacy endures.
