A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface IT may be to be exact, it is a somewhat presumptuous thing to write a book and call it Alexandre Dumas. There is no question here of introducing an unknown man or discovering an unrecognized genius. Dumas is, and has been for the better part of a century, the property of all the world :there can be little new to say about one of whom so much has already been said. Remembering also, as I do, a dictum by one of our best known men of letters to the effect that the adequate biographer of Dumas neither is noris likely to be, I accept the saying at this moment with all the unfeigned humility which experience entitles me to claim. My own belief on this point is that, if we could conceive a writer who combined in himself the anecdotal facility of Suetonius or Saint Simon, with the loaded brevity of Tacitus and the judicial irony of Gibbon, such an one might essay the task with a reasonable prospect of success though, after all, the probability is that he would be quite out of sympathy with Dumas. However that be, I console myself by reflecting that to adapt a familiar Dumas story il ya dcs dcgres, and by hoping that, in the scale of degrees, this book may not be at the very lowest. Then, there is or there was, on the 24th of July in this year the centenary of Dumas
