Alexandre Dumas was born in France in 1802, the son of General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. In early adulthood, he worked as a clerk, met the renowned actor Talma, and began writing short pieces for the theatre. Dumas later turned his hand to novel-writing, and penned The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. After enduring a short period of bankruptcy, Dumas began to travel extensively, still keeping up a prodigious output of journalism, short fiction and novels. He died in Dieppe in 1870.
