Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Black Tulip Alexandre Dumas, or to give him his full name, Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, was born at Villers-Cotterets, dep. Aisne, July 1803. His youth was somewhat idle and irregular. In 1823 he went to Paris, where he was employed for some time as a clerk in the bureau of the Due d'Orleans. Literature, however, lured from the drudgery of a clerical calling, and fame came to him in 1829, when he published "Henri Trois et sa Cour." He was a most prodigious worker, and his output during the ten years between 1844 and 1854 is without parallel in literature except, perhaps, the wonderful first decade of the author of "Waverley." "La Tulipe Noire," which is translated in the following pages, was published in 1850. In spite of the vast wealth which his literary labours brought him, Dumas's career ended in poverty. He left Paris for the last time with only two napoleons in his possession. Retiring to his son's villa at Dieppe, he died there on 5th December 1870.

About The Book The Black Tulip "The Black Tulip," published in 1850, was the last of Alexandre Dumas' more famous stories, and ranks deservedly high among the short novels of its prolific author. Dumas visited Holland in May, 1849, in order to be present at the coronation of William III. at Amsterdam, and according to Flotow, the composer, it was the king himself who told Dumas the story of "The Black Tulip," and mentioned that none of the author's romances were concerned with the Dutch. Dumas, however, never gave any credit to this anecdote, and others have alleged that Paul Lacroix, the bibliophile, who was assisting Dumas with his novels at that time, is responsible for the plot. The question can never be answered, for who can disentangle the work of Dumas from that of his army of helpers? A feature of "The Black Tulip" is that in it is the bulb, and not a human being, that is the real centre of interest. The fate of the bulb is made of first importance, and the fortunes of Cornelius van Baerle, the tulip fancier, of Boxtel, and of Rosa, the gaoler's daughter, exciting though they are, take second place.
