Az Olympe de Clčves igazi romantikus regény, egy szenvedélyes, őrült szerelem története, amelyben írásművészete legjavát adja Dumas. Az író abba a világba kalauzolja olvasóit, amelyet a legjobban ismer, ahol a legotthonosabban mozog: a színház világába. A történet XV. Lajos korában játszódik. Az ifjú király alig húszesztendős, és nagyon unatkozik, szép és szenvedélyes szeretőre vágyik. Az, aki meghódítja a király szívét és érzékeit, értelmének is ura lesz. Nem mindegy hát, kinek jut e kiváltság. Tudja ezt Richelieu herceg is, közbeavatkozik, és a maga fondorlatos módján kezdi el szőni-gabalyítani a szálakat... A regény egyik főhőse Banničre, a híres színész, akit már novícius korában is ellenállhatatlanul vonzott a színpad, és a kiközösítést is vállalva, megszökött a jezsuitáktól, csak hogy a világot jelentő deszkákra léphessen. A hősnő pedig a csodálatos színésznő, Olympe de Clčves, akiben a sorsát, érzéseit őszintén vállaló, a hivatásának élő szabad asszony alakját rajzolta meg Dumas.

The last cavalier is Count de Sainte-Hermine, Hector, whose elder brothers and father have fought and died for the Royalist cause during the French Revolution. For three years Hector has been languishing in prison when, in 1804, on the eve of Napoleon's coronation as emperor of France he learns what is to be his due. Stripped of his title, denied the honour of his family name as well as the hand of the woman he loves, he is freed by Napoleon on the condition that he serves in the imperial forces. So it is in profound despair that Hector embarks on a succession of daring escapades as he courts death fearlessly. Yet again and again he wins glory - against brigands, bandits, the British, boa constrictors, sharks, tigers and crocodiles. At the Battle of Trafalgar it is his bullet that fells Nelson. But however far his adventures take him - from Burma's jungles to the wilds of Ireland - his destiny lies always with his father's enemy, Napoleon.

A classic adventure story set in seventeenth century France.

Einer für alle, alle für einen Mit rauschenden Festen und ruinösen Liebesaffären eröffnet Ludwig XIV. seine Regentschaft. Die drei Musketiere jedoch haben andere Vorstellungen von einem starken Königtum, und sie wissen um einen Zwillingsbruder Ludwigs, der, vor der Öffentlichkeit verborgen, in einem Seitenflügel der Bastille lebt. Diesen Doppelgänger wollen sie unbemerkt gegen Ludwig austauschen und auf den Thron setzen. "Es ist eine Geschichte, die nicht ganz wahrheitsgetrau, aber auch nicht ganz falsch ist, und sie ist in jedem Augenblick wunderbar dramatisch." André Maurois

La Dame aux Camelias still has the power to cast the spell that has fascinated generations of readers. Dumas's marvellously beautiful, intelligent, and vibrant heroine lives on in revivals of the stage version, in film and television adaptations, and inLa Traviata, Verdi's perennially popular opera. For Marguerite has long since attained the status of a myth. Dumas's subtle and moving portrait of a woman in love is a timeless antidote to the cynicism of every age.

A deceptively simple story and the shortest of Dumas's most famous novels, The Black Tulip (1850) weaves historical events surrounding a brutal murder into a tale of romantic love. Set in Holland in 1672, this timeless political allegory draws on the violence and crimes of history, making a case against tyranny and creating a symbol of justice and tolerance: the fateful tulipa negra.

'people get out of prison, and when they get out, and their name is Edmond Dants, they take their revenge!' Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dants is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Château d'If. Having endured years of incarceration, he stages a daring and dramatic escape and sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo, and to catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, The Count of Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge. Believing himself to be an 'Angel of Providence', Dants pursues his vengeance to the bitter end, only then realizing that he himself is a victim of fate. One of the great thrillers of all time, The Count of Monte Cristo has been adapted for film and television many times. This newly revised, unabridged translation is as unputdownable now as it was when the novel first appeared, and William Thackeray, enthralled, 'began to read Monte Cristo at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night'.

Imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, Edmond Dantès spends 14 bitter years in a dungeon. When his daring escape plan works he uses all he has learned during his incarceration to mastermind an elaborate plan of revenge that will bring punishment to those he holds responsible for his fate. No longer the naïve sailor who disappeared into the dark fortress all those years ago, he reinvents himself as the charming, mysterious, and powerful Count of Monte Cristo.

One of France's best-selling writers at the time of the novel's composition, Dumas here combines what he considered to be life's essentials - `l'action et l'amour'. This historical romance is the climax of his epic of chivalry and valour that began with The Three Musketeers, and it is here that Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and their friend d'Artagnan, once invincible, meet their destinies. This edition provides background information and notes crucial to an understanding of the legend and the novel's setting.

V roce 1840 byla ve Francii zatčena pro vraždu Charlese Pouch-Lafarge mladá krásná žena Marie Capelle, kterou vinili z toho, že pár měsíců po svatbě otrávila svého manžela arzenem. Její záhadný příběh tehdejší pařížskou společnost rozvášnil a rozdělil. Alexandre Dumas byl mezi těmi, kdo proces sledovali velmi podrobně, neboť se s paní Lafarge a celým aristokratickým světem osobně znal. Důvěrná znalost detailů, syrové materiály z dobového tisku a Mariiny intimní vzpomínky z vězeňské cely, to vše se stalo podkladem Dumasova posledního díla, jeho jediného románu ze současnosti, jehož vydání se však nedožil. Půldruhého století ztracený rukopis byl vydán teprve v roce 2005 a stal se literární senzací Francie. Nyní se dostává do rukou i českým čtenářům.
