About the author

This note regards Alexandre Dumas, père, the father of Alexandre Dumas, fils (son). For the son, see Alexandre Dumas fils.

Alexandre Dumas père, born Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, was a towering figure of 19th-century French literature whose historical novels and adventure tales earned global renown. Best known for The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and other swashbuckling epics, Dumas crafted stories filled with daring heroes, dramatic twists, and vivid historical backdrops. His works, often serialized and immensely popular with the public, helped shape the modern adventure genre and remain enduring staples of world literature.
Dumas was the son of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas, a celebrated general in Revolutionary France and the highest-ranking man of African descent in a European army at the time. His father’s early death left the family in poverty, but Dumas’s upbringing was nonetheless marked by strong personal ambition and a deep admiration for his father’s achievements. He moved to Paris as a young man and began his literary career writing for the theatre, quickly rising to prominence in the Romantic movement with successful plays like Henri III et sa cour and Antony.
In the 1840s, Dumas turned increasingly toward prose fiction, particularly serialized novels, which reached vast audiences through French newspapers. His collaboration with Auguste Maquet, a skilled plotter and historian, proved fruitful. While Maquet drafted outlines and conducted research, Dumas infused the narratives with flair, dialogue, and color. The result was a string of literary triumphs, including The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, both published in 1844. These novels exemplified Dumas’s flair for suspenseful pacing, memorable characters, and grand themes of justice, loyalty, and revenge.
The D’Artagnan Romances—The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte of Bragelonne—cemented his fame. They follow the adventures of the titular Gascon hero and his comrades Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, blending historical fact and fiction into richly imagined narratives. The Count of Monte Cristo offered a darker, more introspective tale of betrayal and retribution, with intricate plotting and a deeply philosophical core.
Dumas was also active in journalism and theater. He founded the Théâtre Historique in Paris, which staged dramatizations of his own novels. A prolific and energetic writer, he is estimated to have written or co-written over 100,000 pages of fiction, plays, memoirs, travel books, and essays. He also had a strong interest in food and published a massive culinary encyclopedia, Le Grand Dictionnaire de cuisine, filled with recipes, anecdotes, and reflections on gastronomy.
Despite his enormous success, Dumas was frequently plagued by financial troubles. He led a lavish lifestyle, building the ornate Château de Monte-Cristo near Paris, employing large staffs, and supporting many friends and relatives. His generosity and appetite for life often outpaced his income, leading to mounting debts. Still, his creative drive rarely waned.
Dumas’s mixed-race background was a source of both pride and tension in his life. He was outspoken about his heritage and used his platform to address race and injustice. In his novel Georges, he explored issues of colonialism and identity through a Creole protagonist. Though he encountered racism, he refused to be silenced, famously replying to a racial insult by pointing to his ancestry and achievements with dignity and wit.
Later in life, Dumas continued writing and traveling, spending time in Belgium, Italy, and Russia. He supported nationalist causes, particularly Italian unification, and even founded a newspaper to advocate for Giuseppe Garibaldi. Though his popularity waned somewhat in his final years, his literary legacy grew steadily. He wrote in a style that was accessible, entertaining, and emotionally reso

This is my second time for this book although it's been quite a few years so I couldn't remember what happened. It was just as good as the first time although I did wonder how the count became so brilliant in every subject such as art, etc. when he spent all those years in prison.

[Shelli King · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was originally published under Dumas' name. However, Flagg virtually ignores the rich characters created by Dumas and focuses on the turbulent politics of the period.

It was a reasonably good book, but I feel that it could have spent more time exploring character relationships while still attending to the important events surrounding them.

[Heather · Rating 1 out of 5]

So I thought it would be relatively interesting, but it truly isn't. I'm sorry trouble was taken to get me this book, but there isn't anything interesting about the beginning. I don't think Dumas should have continued the story. It was good where it ended in the Count of Monte Cristo.

[Brandi Chavez · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was horrid!! Within a short time they kill off the Count's love then fill the book with boring politics and bring Edward back to Mercedee's in a sellout ending. Horrid! Don't waste your time.

[Barbara · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was expecting more Edmond and Mercedes... but it was actually more Le Miserables.... all about the french revolution. Vie Va Republic! With an occational chapter thrown in about the leading character... I mean his name is kinda the title of the book.

[Jason Ryan · Rating 1 out of 5]

Couldn't even read it because it was like a bad xerox of poorly printed text with misspelled words or faded ink. Saw somewhere that this wasn't even written by Dumas. I can believe it. Very dissatisfied

[Steven · Rating 3 out of 5]

Mostly tedious, manages to mention virtually every significant character in the original book, ends in the middle of a private, heart- wrenching controversy. Who knew they did cliffhangers in the nineteenth century? Ugh.

Apprehensively, I listened to the second sequel, Monte Cristo's Daughter, to find out how the story of the controversy comes out. That was the good book. In the end, I concluded a good editor could filter these two books down to one really excellent book.

[Aloysius Wald · Rating 2 out of 5]

The novel, Edmund Dantes has VERY little to do with Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo. Reading this "sequel" novel it becomes immediately obvious that it was NOT written by Dumas. The 1911 Leslie Judge Company edition is quite careful in failing to mention who actually wrote Edmund Dantes and defines the edition as "the sequel to Alexandre Dumas' celebrated novel The Count of Monte Cristo". (Flagg, the author is NEVER mentioned in this volume.) I bought it and read it anyway, not being afraid of the word "sequel" and knowing that liberties had been taken in the past with the original Dumas story both in film and print. It was excruciatingly evident that the overblown dialogue and melodramatic, yet obvious, plot twists were the sort of 'penny dreadful' writing in which a garden variety author might engage when writing a "sequel" to a famous classic. Some of the sequences involving the politics and the uprising in 1848 are interesting, but of rather doubtful veracity. The novel, Edmund Dantes, is an entertainment, a bit like watching bad television. The connection to the wonderful and powerful novel, The Count of Monte Cristo, is tenuous at best. But even Flagg has a moment when he writes, "The most melancholy feature in the oppression of man is his ignorance that he is oppressed." Things don't seem to change much, century to century it seems. That line by Flagg was worth wading through the rest of the book.

This is a novel written by an American in the 19th century, as the sequel of Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo", which I read when I was approximately Junior High age., from a copy that had belonged to my grandfather. I had previously read the comic book edition of Dumas' original (Published by "Classics Illustrated"), which was why I was motivated to read it. I remember it as a great read.

I'm serious just stop you'll be doing yourself a solid

then go watch Gankutsuou: The Count Of Monte Cristo instead

[Amy Layton · Rating 4 out of 5]

Unfortunately, I read a watered down version for my introduction to French literature class, but I feel as though the themes were carried out very well. I can't wait to read more of Dumas' work.

[Lara Banks · Rating 2 out of 5]

Slow read. I wasn't impressed, especially after reading "The Count of Monte Cristo," which was amazing. I forced myself to read until page 96 and then gave up.
