The Man in the Iron Mask

Biographie d'Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas, also known as Alexandre Dumas père (where père is French for 'father', to distinguish him from his son Alexandre Dumas fils), was a French writer. His works have been translated into many languages and he is one of the most widely read French authors. Many of his historical novels of high adventure were originally published as serials, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.
His novels have been adapted since the early twentieth century into nearly 200 films.
