Set in 1866 during the Austro-Prussian War, this exciting and masterfully-retold story is highly recommended for fans of the historical fiction, and constitutes a must-read for lovers of Dumas's seminal work. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his lavish lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. (Goodreads)
