Alexandre Dumas was born in Aisne, France, in 1802. He was 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 then turned his hand to novel-writing, and penned The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. After enduring a short period of bankruptcy, he began to travel extensively, keeping up a prodigious output of journalism, short fiction and novels. Dumas died in Dieppe in 1870.
