关于作者
Alexandre Dumas, born on July 24, 1802, in Villers-Cotterêts, France, emerged as one of the most prominent figures in French literature during the 19th century. The son of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, a General in Revolutionary France, and Marie-Louise Élisabeth Labouret, Dumas’ heritage was a rich tapestry which greatly influenced his work. His grandfather was a French nobleman and his grandmother, an enslaved Afro-Caribbean woman, giving Dumas a unique perspective that often shaped the themes of justice and liberty in his narratives. A prolific writer, Dumas penned a considerable number of plays, novels, and articles. His literary career took off with the success of his drama ‘Henry III and His Courts’ in 1829, which established him as a notable playwright. However, it was his historical novels of high adventure that captivated a wide audience, earning him an enduring international reputation. Among Dumas’ most celebrated works is the series ‘The D’Artagnan Romances’, encompassing ‘The Three Musketeers’, ‘Twenty Years After’, and ‘The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later’. These works, serialized between 1844-1850, are lauded for their vivid characters, including the iconic titular musketeer, and a romanticized vision of 17th-century France. Dumas’ storytelling, characterized by fast-paced narratives and a flair for the dramatic, captured the imagination of his readers, rendering his fiction timeless. His influence on the adventure genre is indelible, as is his contribution to literature as a whole. His legacy continues to inspire adaptations across various media, a testament to his mastery of narrative and his understanding of the human spirit. Alexandre Dumas died on December 5, 1870, at his son’s home in Puys, France, leaving behind a rich canon of work that continues to be read and revered today.
