How to join the Dumas Society ?
Are you a fan of Alexandre Dumas ? You are welcome to join our Society

Welcome to Alexandre Dumas, Two Centuries of Living Literature, a website
devoted to the author of such famous novels as The
Three Musketeers and The
Count of Monte-Cristo. This site is mostly in French for obvious reasons.
We hope, however, to increase gradually, over time, the English content.
Meanwhile, you will find here explanations about the main features of the
site to help you find your way and find useful information, even to non-fluent
French speakers.
 If
you are not familiar with Alexandre Dumas, a good starting point is the
chronology found in the Dumas's
life section. It gives a broad outline of Dumas' life and works. In
the same section, Dumas as described by his
and our contemporaries displays texts about Alexandre Dumas by writers
such as Victor Hugo, Honoré de Balzac, Robert-Louis Stevenson or
Georges Perec. Should you wonder about Alexandre Dumas fils (son) or Victor
Hugo's relationship with Dumas, go to the dictionnary
of Dumas' circle of friends.
 Since
there is nothing like Dumas' own writings, be sure to check out our library.
Provided, of course, you can do so in French. Are you mostly familiar with
the The
Three Musketeers saga ? You might like to look at our anthology
(selected extracts), in the Dumas' works
section : you will see that Alexandre Dumas was also a great drama writer,
an adventurous traveler and a dedicated cook ! Are you looking for Dumas'
novels dealing with the French Revolution or wondering which books are the
sequels to The
Three Musketeers ? Go to the novels
listed in historical order (in French). In the same section, you will
find a full bibliography, a critical
bibliography, a filmography, and so on...
 If
you are really taken with Alexandre Dumas, visit the Dumas
Society section. You will find more about us, an association of Dumas'
fans located in Dumas very own Château
de Monte-Cristo near Paris. The Society publishes a yearly Cahier
(Journal), a newsletter, and organizes conferences and exhibitions. For
those involved in research projects, the site gives you a catalogue of the
Society's collections of autographs,
manuscripts and rare books. |
