Dumas’ 150th Anniversary
Our Dumas’ 150th Anniversary Special Edition celebrates the great lion of French literature, Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870). The front cover features a handwritten draft of The Count of Monte Cristo and the back cover shows an illustration of the prison where the Count was jailed. Today, Dumas remains among the world’s most widely read authors. His former home is now the Musée Alexandre Dumas, where original manuscripts such as this are held to promote and protect his legacy.
Over his career, Dumas wrote nearly one hundred thousand pages. His prolific writing was matched by profligate spending and he vacillated between wealth and virtual pennilessness. He was also said to be the most generous of men as well as the most self-involved. His outsized and contrary approach to life was probably influenced by his own roots as the child of a man born to a French nobleman and Marie-Cessette Dumas, a slave of African descent.
