One story I found in Bell's bio that I'd like to pass on. Dumas wanted to be a war correspondent and cover the American civil War. He never quite got to do it,...
Thank you, I found and purchased it on Amazon today. There was also a copy for sale on E-Bay. When I went to Dumas' home France there were a lot of ...
In 1837 Dumas wrote a comic opera titled Piquillo. The title has been a put-off for me, but I finally got started on it recently. I'm not finished with it but...
I haven't read it. I found it on Amazon though. I'll put it on my list. ... _________________________________________________________________ Tease your...
I found this review of Riall's biography of Garibaldi fascinating.\ Dumas edited Garibaldi's Memoirs, ran guns to him from his yacht, the Emma, and held office...
Piquillo is described as a comic opera, but to me it seems more like a three act play "mixed with songs" as they were called at the time. It's not a...
I ordered a book by Maquet from Inter Library Loan. It came in the other day with a carefully folded obituary torn from an undated French paper together with a...
Obituary Auguste Maquet Auguste Maquet, the celebrated dramatic writer died last week in his chateau of Saint Mesme (Saint Osme) where he had been retired...
I've finished translating Maquet's Fronde. It's not bad, actually pretty good, but it doesn't give the period feeling of Maquet's and Dumas' other works. It's...
That was very interesting. Thank you for posting it. How much do you think he wrote of the novels that he and Dumas collaborated on? And why is only Dumas's...
Do you know if it is available in English? ... _________________________________________________________________ Find a local pizza place, movie theater, and...
So far as I know mine is the only translation , except maybe one by Frank Reed. Mine is as yet unpublished, but will be evnetually. Frank P.S. if you live in...
I think it would be difficult to say in any given case. Dumas and Maquet collaborated very well together, which makes it very difficult to separate their...
With all due respect, have not many of the most-noted, honest and earnest Dumas, pere experts, Bell included, I believe, pointed out that while it is true that...
There's more than one factor in play here. Racism may play a part but I know of few overtly racist critiques of Dumas. I could cite one where it was suggested...
The racist remarks I've read about him are too numerous to list. Disgusting, isn't it? Makes me ill. The reason I'm surprised about the collaborators is that...
I don't think there's any doubt that Dumas was able to impose his voice, etc over the collaboration. But that doesn't mean his collaborators were fools; indeed...
Hi everyone, I've gotten to the point with my Dumas collection where I am quite by accident buying duplicates of certain titles because of differences in the...
Hi Charlotte, (pretty name) I'm a novice. I've only read the more famous books: C of MC, Black Tulip, the Musketeer books, etc.. But I have been buying some...

I've been researching various editions and publications of Dumas's 'theatre complet' which includes all of his plays. IT has been published in various editions...
I don't think you will find that there is any truly "complete" version of his works. I believe 66 plays are the most compiled in the levy editions. But he...
This is off topic, but I gotta ask. Ron loves Hermione? Harry Potter reference, right? ... _________________________________________________________________ ...
