Über Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) erhielt nur eine dürftige Schulbildung, feierte aber schon 1824 rauschende Erfolge als Theaterautor. Ab 1844 schuf er mit Abenteuerromanen wie «Die drei Musketiere» und «Der Graf von Monte Christo» Klassiker der Unterhaltungsliteratur. Ihm werden zahllose Affären nachgesagt.
