"You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me."
— C. S. Lewis

Alexandre Dumas, born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie (4 July 1802 – 5 December 1870), was a prolific French writer of the nineteenth century. His works have been translated into nearly 100 languages, and he is one of the most widely read French authors to date. Many of his historical novels of high adventure were originally published as serials, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later. Since the early twentieth century, Dumas' work has been adapted for nearly 200 films.
