The Works Of Alexandre Dumas - The Companions Of Jehu - Paperback

by Alexandre Dumas (Author)

This book contains Alexandre Dumas's 1894 novel, "The Companions of Jehu". Set during Napoleons ascent to power in the 1800s, it tells the story of a group of young aristocrats that become highwaymen in order to fund a restoration of the monarchy. Packed with tragedy, love, and derring-do, this exciting historical tale constitutes 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.
