This antiquarian volume contains two novels by Alexander Dumas: "The Adventures of Captain Pamphile" and "Delaporte's Little Presents." These fantastic stories, full of high-adventure and romance, are highly recommended for those who have read and enjoyed other works by Dumas. Packed with tragedy, love, and derring-do, these exciting tales constitute a must-read for fans of Dumas's work, and would make for a great addition to any bookshelf. 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 extravagant lifestyle. His novels have since been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over two hundred motion pictures. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. Less
