Alexandre Dumas

Summary

First published in 1848, "The Lady of the Camellias" is a novel by Alexandre Dumas fils. The novel was subsequently adapted by Dumas for the stage.

Known to all as “the Lady of the Camellias” because she is never seen without her favorite flowers, Marguerite Gautier is the most beautiful, brazen, and expensive courtesan in all of Paris. But despite having many lovers, she has never really loved—until she meets Armand Duval, young, handsome, and hopelessly in love with her.

Dumas's subtle and moving portrait of a woman in love is based on his own love affair with one of the most desirable courtesans in Paris. The novel has been inspiration for Verdi’s opera La Traviata, the Oscar-winning musical Moulin Rouge!, and numerous ballets, stage plays and films.
