Dumas led a very interesting life while producing historical novels. The
lifting of press censorship in the 1830s caused an enormous increase in the
spread of newspapers. The newspapers
used entertaining serial novels to attract
readers, thus Dumas became a serial
novelist to make more money. Dumas
made more than 250 books with the help
of his seventy-three assistants. His most
notable assistant was the teacher Auguste
Maquet who might have drafted the
original rough sketches of The Three
Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
("Alexander Dumas (sr.)") Dumas used
his own personal flair to develop intriguing characters, move the action along,
and offer teasers to keep the readers in suspense.
In 1830, Dumas adventurously took part in the revolution of July and
became a captain in the National Guard. He married an actress in 1840, but
divorced her after spending her entire dowry. ("Biography of) After 1857,
Dumas traveled to Russia. He also assisted Garibaldi, who was restoring Sicily
and Naples to Italy. Having succeeded there, Dumas lived in Sicily for a while.
He eventually returned to France and died peacefully on December 5, 1870.
