Dumas's overall literary output reached more than 277 volumes, but his brilliant historical novels made him the most universally read of all French novelists.
His lavish spending and flamboyant habits led to the construction of his fabulous Château de Monte-Cristo, and in 1851 he fled to Belgium to escape creditors. His first play, Henri III et sa cour (1829), scored a resounding success for its author and the romantic movement. His early education was scanty, but his beautiful handwriting secured him a position in Paris in 1822 with the du'Orléans, where he read voraciously and began to write. He was born in Villers-Cotterêts, France.
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) lived a life as romantic as that depicted in his famous novels.
