Early life
Alexandre Dumas was brought into the world on July 24, 1802, close to Soissons, France, the child of a Creole general of the French Revolutionary armed forces.

He was enormously affected by crafted by William Shakespeare (1564-1616) and composed his most memorable plays in 1825 and 1826. Others followed, with Henri III et sa cour (1829) bringing him extraordinary achievement and ubiquity. The upset of 1830 dialed back Dumas' composition, and he turned into a solid ally of the Marquis de Lafayette. His political exercises were seen horribly by the new lord, his previous chief, and he had to leave France for a period. A progression of entertaining travel guides came about because of this time of exile.
