The Black Tulip
By Alexandre Dumas
About Alexandre Dumas
(1802-1870)
A dramatist, an immensely prolific writer, and a wild spender, the French
writer, Alexandre Dumas, Père, (the father, so-called to
distinguish him from his writer-son, who bore the same name) was author
of many dozens of successful — and some not so successful —
romantic plays, farces, and dramas that were produced in Paris theaters
throughout most of his life, beginning in the early 1820s.
Despite his lifelong industry, (over 1200 volumes of writing!) his
earning were consumed by debt and dissipation. He lived estranged
from his wife and son, and was plagued by creditors through most of
his life.
Dumas, Père, is chiefly remembered now for his stories of
derring-do concerning the adventures of Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and
the peerless D'Artagnan: "The Three Musketeers," for "The Man in the
Iron Mask," and for the long and complex book of betrayal and revenge,
"The Count of Monte Christo."
