A Daughter of The Regent, by Dumas This is a play written in 1846 around the time Dumas was writing about D'Artagnana and Monte Cristo. An excellent play in...
That sounds wonderful. As soon as I have a couple of spare hours free (I'm sure I will need at least that) I'll see what they have. Thank you so much. To:...
I´ve completed work on Dumas´1869 play Madame de Chamblay. On the whole I found it dull. Whenever Dumas takes himself seriously he seems to fall into a trap...
Hi everyone! I just wanted to briefly brag - my collection of Alexandre Dumas' works just won Canada's National Book Collecting Contest! I did a bunch of...
Thank you so much for sharing that, Charlotte, and congradulations!!! Nice prize too. Just think, now you can buy more books! : ) To: clubdumas@yahoogroups.com...
Hello Charlotte, This is really good news! I sell rare book online. I can pass-on any Dumas book to you, that is, if that's alright with you. Pat A Candle...
Well done Charlotte on keeping the Dumas memory alive. At the moment I am in Paris having a wonderful Dumas experience. Last week I went on a 'Black PARIS...
Rare books? I'm crazy for those. Can't afford them, I'm afraid. But they are lovely to see and hold. To: clubdumas@yahoogroups.com From: boozerpat@......
I've got a question though, Pat. I've been looking for a nice copy of "Great Expectations". About how much do you think I could pick one up for? Doesn't have...
Hi All In my haste to tell of my Parisian 'Dumas experience' I neglected to mention a book on cooking by alexandre Dumas which I recently bought. 'MON...
Ha ha, June! :D Yes, I have several copies of the Grande Dictionnaire de Cuisine, actually. I picked up the full edition from a cookbook store in Paris - it...

A Dumas and Feval collaboration ? I recently finished translating Paul Feval's play The Puritans of Scotland. Feval spells Puritans "Puritains" with an i,...
Quite by accident I came across a play adaptation of The Companions of Jehu in French by Charles Gabet. I don't think it's listed on The Dumas pere web page....
I'm new, thought I'd say hi - hi - and am delighted to find this group. I'm a long time fan of Dumas père, since Jr. High School which has been decades ago....
Hi Darlin, That's facinating! I think papa Dumas would be the excellent subject of a film, though the idea of Depardieu playing him is a bit odd. Physically...
Although I would be excited to see a movie about Dumas, I'm really offended that they will try to hide the fact that he was a mulatto. That's a very racist...
I hadn't heard anything about the film or the play on which it was based, but we had a bit of a discussion here a couple years ago about Maquet as a...
I'd like to see the film and read the play. I'm not sure exactly why Depardieu was chosen, but I doubt it was to conceal Dumas's Creole heritage. Dupardeiu is...
You raise an interesting point. If Depardieu is being cast to hide the fact Dumas was a mulatto, I would agree that is racist. But does an actor/actress have...
That's a very different case Frank. Juliet is a fictional character - so there's no problem in changing the color/race/etc... But in the case of Dumas it...
I agree whole heartedly with the point below - it's very difficult to tell any story of Dumas in 19th century Paris without touching on the "ethnic issue". So...
But in France everyone knows Dumas was a mulatto, or of mixed blood. The French are, as a whole, very knowledgeable about their writers biographies. People in...
Depardieu is a good actor and has international draw, I imagine that is why he is being considered for the part. I always thought the American actor Ron...
Hello all, This is almost 18 months later (apologies) but it's not been very busy on the list so..... I did receive and watch the series and enjoyed it very...
I cannot see any reason to conceal Dumas pere's racial origins, but I really don't see much reason to dwell on it, either. So far as I can tell it didn't play...
