La dama de Monsoreau

Alejandro Dumas era un mago de la palabra y de la acción. El conde de Monte-Cristo es una de las novelas más apasionantes que se han escrito. Aquí está, lector, en sus manos. ¿Cree usted que se llama Monte-Cristo por una casualidad? En un viaje por el Mediterraneo, Dumas paso por una islilla en la que no pudo desembarcar porque `` estaba en rebeldia ''. Era la isla de Monte-Cristo. El nombre le llamo la atencion. Varios meses despues, en 1843, se comprometio a escribir una obra que se titularia Impresiones de un viaje por Paris. Le faltaba, sin embargo, la trama novelesca. En esos dias leyo un cuento de veinte paginas titulado El diamante y la venganza. Se desarrollaba en tiempos de la segunda Restauracion. De alli le surgio a Dumas la idea de que Monte-Cristo descubriera a sus enemigos en Paris. Marquet, un colaborador suyo, invento los amores de Monte-Cristo con la bella Mercedes y la traicion de Danglars. El viaje, con la imaginacion de Marquet y la de Dumas se convirtio en una novela pura. La novela se formo como una fuga a 64 voces de Bach. Cada tema tenia un sentido. Cada personaje se engarzaba con los demas. Asi nacio El conde de Monte-Cristo. Era el año de 1843. El triunfo fue rotundo. Cada dia aparecia un capitulo en Le Journal des Debats. Cada dia Francia entera palpitaba con las aventuras de Edmundo Dantes. De provincia le escribian los lectores a Dumas para indagar de antemano el desenlace. El dia en que un capitulo no aparecia se producia una angustia nacional.

Alejandro Dumas, padre, el famosísimo autor de Los tres mosqueteros o El conde de Montecristo, por citar un par de ejemplos, también se introdujo en el mundo de la fantasía. En Los mil y un fantasmas, siguiendo el modelo de Dante y el Decameron, unos comensales hacen una muy larga sobremesa en donde van contando sus experiencias en encuentros que no son de este mundo"

In "The Last Vende; or, the She-Wolves of Machecoul," Alexandre Dumas delivers a gripping narrative set against the tumultuous backdrop of the French Revolution. This historical novel intricately weaves themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless struggle for survival among royalist rebels in the Vende region. Dumas employs a vivid literary style, rich in dramatic tension and lush descriptions, which encapsulates the brutality of the conflict and the complexities of human emotions in desperate times. The juxtaposition of passionate characters against the harsh realities of war serves to highlight the personal tragedies played out within the larger historical context, immersing readers in an evocative exploration of revolutionary France. Dumas, a prolific writer and playwright renowned for his adventurous tales, draws upon his rich heritage and the historical narratives of his time to craft this work. His own experiences with civil strife and the tensions of political allegiance in 19th-century France inform the depth and authenticity found within this novel. Moreover, his fascination with the drama of human experience, deeply rooted in his own background, propelled him to explore the riveting stories of lesser-known historical figures caught in the chaos of their era. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Last Vende; or, the She-Wolves of Machecoul" to readers seeking both an enthralling adventure and a profound commentary on the human condition. Dumass masterful storytelling invites you to contemplate the consequences of conflict and the indomitable spirit of those who resist oppression. This novel is an essential addition to any literary collection, offering both historical insight and a gripping narrative that will resonate long after the last page is turned.

In "The Mesmerists Victim," Alexandre Dumas delves into the intersection of science and the supernatural, presenting a narrative steeped in the popular fascination with mesmerism during the 19th century. The book adopts a grippingly vivid literary style, characterized by DumasAos signature flair for vibrant characterizations and intricate plots. As the protagonist falls under the spell of a mesmerizing practitioner, the narrative explores themes of power, manipulation, and the fine line between reality and illusion, providing readers with a captivating glimpse into a society oscillating between enlightenment and superstition. Alexandre Dumas, renowned for his historical novels like "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," was a prominent figure of the Romantic literary movement. His diverse background, including French and Haitian ancestry, profoundly shaped his worldview and storytelling. Dumas was particularly influenced by the scientific and philosophical discussions of his time, prompting him to tackle the contentious subject of mesmerism, which was both a phenomenon of its era and a window into the human psyche. This enthralling tale is highly recommended for readers interested in the interplay of science and intrigue. Dumass masterful blend of suspense and rich, evocative language invites readers into a world where reason and mysticism collide, making "The Mesmerists Victim" an essential read for anyone captivated by the nuances of human emotion and the unexplained.

The Three Musketeers has proved enduringly popular for more than a century and a half. Inspiration for many a movie and TV adaptation, this swashbuckling epic of chivalry, honour and derring-do, set in France during the 1620s, is satisfyingly peopled with romantic heroes, unattainable heroines, kings, queens, cavaliers and criminals, and contains in abundance adventure, espionage, conspiracy, murder, vengeance, love, scandal and suspense. Taking as its starting point the memoirs of the historical Comte d'Artagnan, Dumas's imagination transforms the bit-players of history into larger-than-life characters: d'Artagnan himself, the impetuous young man in pursuit of glory but ever ready to respond to an insult; the beguilingly evil seductress 'Milady' (entirely his own creation) and of course The Three Musketeers of the title, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, whose motto 'all for one, one for all' has come to epitomize devoted friendship. Interwoven amongst them are vivid fictionalized portraits of major historical figures, amongst them the powerful and devious Cardinal Richelieu, the weak and ineffectual Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, his unhappy Spanish queen. Throw in some stolen diamonds, masked balls, purloined letters, a crumbling medieval prison and a great deal of sword-fighting together with a gripping plot, tremendous narrative drive and a hint of discreet humour, and you have a book totally impossible to put down.

Imprisoned for a crime he didn''t commit, Edmond Dantes spends fourteen bitter years in a dungeon. When his daring escape plan works he uses all he has learnt during his incarceration to mastermind an elaborate plan of revenge that will bring punishment to those responsible for his fate. No longer the naive sailor who disappeared into the dark fortress all those years ago, he reinvents himself as the powerful Count of Monte Cristo.

Considerata lopera migliore di Alexandre Dumas, Il Conte di Montecristo, scritta nel 1844, narra la storia di Edmond Dantes, un giovane e valente capitano di vascello, accusato ingiustamente di bonapartismo. Arrestato a Marsiglia lo stesso giorno delle sue nozze, riuscira dopo tanti anni a fuggire di prigione ed impossessarsi di un tesoro nascosto nellisola di Montecristo. Attraverso mille peripezie riuscira a vendicarsi di tutti i suoi nemici, partendo infine soddisfatto per lOriente.

Alexandre Dumas racconta in questo romanzo la storia della famiglia Borgia, fatta di congiure, efferati omicidi, incesti e perversi giochi di potere. Fanno da sfondo a queste torbide vicende la Roma dei papi e lItalia del Rinascimento. Dopo la prima scena, che si svolge a Firenze nella stanza di Lorenzo il Magnifico in punto di morte, lazione si sposta a Roma durante le afose settimane dellagosto 1492. Innocenzo VIII e appena volato in cielo e si prepara a succedergli sul trono papale Alessandro VI, al secolo Rodrigo Borgia. Con grande disincanto, Dumas si sofferma a descrivere attraverso quali simonie e corruzione vengono comprati i voti del conclave. I Borgia e un avvincente romanzo storico nel quale lo scrittore prende per mano il lettore attraverso episodi e ricostruzioni dettagliate della vita e della cultura della Roma rinascimentale.

Cuando supo Cervantes que un tal de Avellaneda le había secuestrado a Don Quijote para encerrarlo en la casa del Nuncio de Toledo, se apresuró a desfacer el agravio con el más definitivo: el de su fin y acabamiento. Justificó ante el lector el final de la historia con unas melancólicas palabras: «en ella te doy a don Quijote dilatado y, finalmente, muerto y sepultado, porque ninguno se atreva a levantarle nuevos testimonios». No fue el caso de Dumas, que aun parece que llegó a proyectar un cuarto episodio. Pero los años no pasan en balde para mosqueteros, reyes ni cardenales. Y ha de ser un joven Luis XIV el que se encarga de recordárselo a D'Artagnan: «¿Creéis seguir viviendo en un siglo en el que los reyes estaban, como vos os quejáis de haberlo estado, a las órdenes y a la discreción de sus inferiores?… Estoy fundando un Estado en el que solo habrá un amo, como ya os lo prometí en otra ocasión; ha llegado el momento de cumplir mi promesa». Y añadió: «¡La cabeza soy yo!». En efecto, han pasado 35 años y ahora «el Estado es Él». Las aventuras son más cortesanas, y el dinero modela fondo y forma. Reconocemos la pluma jovial de Dumas en el perfil de personajes históricos: La Fontaine resulta ser un curioso humorista; y Molière, observador de la naturaleza humana, se inspirará en Porthos para redondear su dibujo de "Le burgeois gentilhomme". La melancolía invade los últimos capítulos de la novela, que acaba adquiriendo tintes épicos, y es acaso en esas páginas donde Dumas d (continúa...)
