Les Trois Mousquetaires (Classic Reprint) Paperback -
by Alexandre Dumas
From the publisher
Excerpt from Les Trois Mousquetaires In 1829 he achieved his first real success as a dramatic author with his romantic play Henri III. Et sa Cour, which may he said to have completed the revolt against the old classical school of the Drama, and which caused its author to become famous From that moment his reputation was made, and for the next forty years he poured forth au unceasing stream of literary work, consisting of more than sixty plays of various kinds, over 200 volumes of novels, stories, gossipping notes of travels and reminiscences, besides contributions of all kinds to almost every periodical. He actually built for the representation of his own plays the Thtre Historique, which soon proved a complete failure, and founded several journals, like Le Mousquetaire, to be filled entirely with his own contributions. These latter ?ickered out, after au ephemeral existence, one after another, mainly owing to his gross plagiarisms, when he was unable to fill them from his own pen.
