Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lady of the Camellias: Translated From the French, With a Critical Introduction With every man who has excelled in several directions, but particularly in one, there is a temptation for the observer of his work to slip immediately, though unconsciously, to that section of it in which his qualities are seen in most brilliant perfection. The younger Dumas was successful as a novelist, as a pamphleteer, and as a playwright, but his successes were so numerous and so sparkling on the boards of the theatre that they outdazzled the rest. If we speak of Dumas fils, we are apt to be thinking of the author of Denise and of Francillon; we leap over everything else which he has written, and settle on the problem plays of the seventies. Even his most famous novels were turned into not less famous dramas, and if we describe La Dame aux Camelias and L'Affaire Clemenceau, we have to be very careful to mention that it is the stories, not the pieces, to which we refer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This riveting biography brilliantly explores the short, intense, and passionate life of the country girl from Normandy, who at thirteen fled her brute of a father to go to Paris. Almost overnight she became one of the most admired courtesans of the 1840s—the inspiration for Alexandre Dumas fils’ The Lady of the Camellias and Verdi’s La Traviata. With her aristocratic ways, elegant clothes and signature camellias, Marie was always a subject of fascination at the opera and the boulevard cafés. Her death at twenty-three from tuberculosis created such an outpouring of sympathy in the press that Charles Dickens, who was in Paris at the time, was amazed. “Everything is erased in the face of an incident which is far more important,” he wrote, “the romantic death of one of the glories of the demi-monde, the beautiful, the famous Marie Duplessis.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in mid-19th-century France, the novel tells the love story between Marguerite Gautier, a demimondaine or courtesan and Armand Duval, a young bourgeois. Marguerite is nicknamed "lady of the camellias" because she wears a red camellia when she is unavailable for making love and a white camelia when she is available to her lovers. Armand falls in love with Marguerite and ultimately becomes her lover. He convinces her to leave her life as a courtesan and to live with him in the countryside. This idyllic existence is interrupted by Armand's father, who, concerned with the scandal created by the illicit relationship, and fearful that it will destroy Armand's sister's chances of marriage, convinces Marguerite to leave. La Dame aux Camélias is a semi-autobiographical novel based on the author's brief love affair with a courtesan, Marie Duplessis.
