Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) is one of the most famous French writers in history, known for his historical novels of swashbuckling adventure. Dumas’ work, including The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After, are still widely read in classrooms throughout the world and remain entertaining upon rereading. Dumas’ works were serialized, as he was a magazine correspondent and journalist. 

Among Dumas’ best adventures is The Count of Monte Cristo, which is now a staple of Western classrooms and has been made into many movies. The story takes place in in France, Italy, the Mediterranean Islands and the Levant from 1815-1838, which puts it right near the end of the Napoleonic Era and through the restoration of the Bourbons. The book’s protagonist, Edmund Dantès, is one of the most famous characters in literature, running the gamut of emotions, including hope, justice, vengeance and mercy.
