關於作者
Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas père, was a towering figure in French literature, whose prolific output and larger-than-life narratives have enchanted readers for over a century. Born on July 24, 1802, in Villers-Cotterêts, France, Dumas grew up amidst the turmoil of the Napoleonic wars, a backdrop that would later inspire much of his historical fiction. He was the son of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, a general in Napoleon's army, which contributed to Alexandre's keen interest in history and heroic characters. Dumas made his name as a writer in the 1840s with plays and then with historical novels that combined true historical events with thrilling fiction and exuberant romanticism. Works such as 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Count of Monte Cristo' are notable for their adventure and excitement, woven together with real historical frameworks. 'Queen Margot,' or 'La Reine Margot' in French, was published in 1845 and is set in the late 16th century during the tumultuous Wars of Religion in France. It reflects Dumas's narrative talent and fascination with nobility, power struggles, and romantic intrigue. His writing is characterized by fast-paced plots, engaging dialogue, vivid descriptions, and complex characters, often based on historical figures. Dumas's influence extends well beyond literature; his works have been adapted innumerable times for the stage, film, and television, confirming his status as one of the most popular and enduring authors of the 19th century.
