The Collected Works of Alexandre Dumas (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Swashbuckling Historical Adventures of Revenge, Intrigue, Honor, and Romantic HeroismBy Alexandre Dumas
Length441h 49m
About this audiobook
The Collected Works of Alexandre Dumas gathers the astonishing range of a writer who transformed history into narrative momentum: swashbuckling romances, political intrigues, memoir-like reflections, and dramas of loyalty, revenge, honor, and social ascent. In works such as The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas fuses meticulous historical atmosphere with theatrical pacing, vivid dialogue, and an unrivaled gift for suspense. Situated within nineteenth-century French Romanticism, his fiction enlarges the historical novel into a popular art of moral conflict and imaginative freedom. Dumas (1802–1870), born to a family marked by revolutionary France and colonial complexity, inherited both a fascination with heroism and a keen awareness of social instability. The son of General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, a celebrated soldier of mixed race, he came of age amid shifting regimes, censorship, and the expanding literary marketplace. His work reflects this world: ambitious, collaborative, politically alert, and deeply committed to the drama of human agency. This collection is recommended for readers who want more than adventure. It offers a panoramic education in narrative pleasure, historical imagination, and the enduring appeal of characters who act boldly against fate, injustice, and betrayal.
