Alexandre Dumas could have been a character from one of his novels. A true romantic, he was the son of Napoleon's famous General Dumas, a prolific writer of over 277 volumes, a revolutionary and a man of tremendous appetites. He was born on July 24, 1802 and died penniless but happy on December 5, 1870, a refugee from his own excesses. Charles Dickens is now considered one of the most successful British authors of the Victorian age, having written such masterpieces as Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist.
