About This Site, Before Anything Else
This site is more than a library of public-domain novels. Alongside the complete texts of more than two dozen of Dumas's works, it features a substantial and growing body of original, independently written content found nowhere else: Character Guides tracing his most famous creations across multiple books, Historical Figures profiles comparing documented history to how Dumas fictionalized it, curated Reading Guides for choosing where to start, a survey of Dumas's afterlife In Movies and television, and a guide to the real castles, prisons, and cities behind his fiction in Dumas's Paris & France.
This original material — along with the site's Biography, Trivia, and Art sections — reflects independent research and editorial judgment, offers multiple points of entry and perspective on Dumas's life and work, and is provided to complement, not replace, the free public-domain texts and historical images featured throughout the site.
The World of Alexandre Dumas ("we," "us," or "this site") is an independent reader's resource devoted to the life and works of Alexandre Dumas. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you visit this site and how it is used.
