Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was one of the most popular French authors and playwrights of the 19th Century. After the death of his father, Dumas travelled to Paris where he eventually decided to work in the theatre. He first came to public attention at the age of 27 with his first play, ‘King Henry III and his Courts.’ After a succession of successful stage plays, Dumas turned his hand to writing novels. Many of these were serialised in newspapers, such as ‘La Comtesse de Salisbury; Édouard III,’ and ‘Le Capitaine Paul.’ Many of Dumas’ later works have been hailed as timeless classics and adapted for television and the silver screen, such as ‘The Three Musketeers’, starring ‘Lord of the Rings’´ Orlando Bloom, and ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, starring ‘Superman’ star, Henry Cavill.

Audiokniha: Jeden za všechny, všichni za jednoho!Toto heslo hrdinů klasického historického románu Alexandra Dumase zlidovělo. Svůj podíl na tom má jistě i skutečnost, že dobrodružství tří královských mušketýrů a jejich mladého přítele d´Artagnana se dočkala několika filmových podob.Další zpracování slavného románu, tentokrát v méně známé úpravě z plzeňského rozhlasového studia v roce 1961. Alexandre Dumas nebyl historik, ale jeho romány mají spolehlivý historický podklad. Francouzi v nich často četli mnohem více o dějinách své země a o spojitostech jednotlivých historických etap dějin Evropy, než v učebnicích a odborných dílech. Jeho udivující vypravěčský dar dovedl dokonale vylíčit vzrušený francouzský svět v průběhu mnoha století a v rozličných společenských poměrech, rozvinout jej v pestrých podrobnostech oživených lidmi všech stavů a charakterů. Athos, Porthos, Aramis a ďArtagnan, tři mušketýři, k nimž přibyl čtvrtý, procházejí společně neklidným životem ve službách krále a královny Francie na počátku XVII. století. (Josef Cincibus)
