André Maurois (1885–1967) was a classic of 20th-century French literature, the author of celebrated novelized biographies of George Sand, Balzac, Hugo, Turgenev, Proust, and Byron, and a true master of psychological prose. A special place in his literary pantheon is occupied by his triple family portrait: the two celebrated Alexandresses—Dumas père and Dumas fils—and their exotic ancestor, General Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, the son of a marquis and a dark-skinned Haitian slave. The authentic biography of the three Dumas, rich in adventures and broken hearts, passions and intrigues, blows of fate and dizzying rises, rivals the plots of The Three Musketeers. Drawing on numerous documentary evidence, Maurois also creates a portrait of the 19th century, for "against the backdrop of an entire century, the Dumas family played out on the French stage the most beautiful of dramas—their own lives."
