He was a larger-than-life character?braggart, full of himself, adventurer, spendthrift, romantic and deliciously alive bon vivant. Here is the dictionary that recreates Dumas with all of those characteristics, in all his diversity.
Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie was a multiple and paradoxal being who managed to be both popular author and genius, while his own life alternately resembled a social novel and vaudeville. Not only did this protean man embrace and blend all genres, what's more, everything about him was disproportionate, from the number of collaborators to the multitude of works and volumes to that, hardly negligible, of mistresses as well. Dumas spellbinds his readers with utter fascination. A novel of his once started, one has great difficulty putting it down until the very end. This brilliant serialist, this prolific author of “costume novels” often dips his pen in the cheerful euphoria of a writer who plays with history, establishing a narrative complicity with the reader. His fascinating tales always lead to exhausting intrigues, naturally involving extraordinary characters who are blessed with all the dynamic energy Dumas himself possessed. Think about it?just to cite a very few of his masterpieces: The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, The Viscount of Bragelonne, The Knight of Maison-Rouge, Queen Margot. He is timeless, indefatigable, and yes, classic.
