A wonderful book; I truly enjoyed it ! Every fan of Alexandre Dumas should read and understand the background of his stories: the unusual upbringing, the exceptional person his father was. I thought my knowledge about the French Revolution was quite good,- and yet I found so many new details and information that was completely new to me, and about the Racist part that I was completely unaware of (thinking that slavery was abolished). The book is such an easy read, with a wonderful sense of humor, that you don't even notice that you absorb a lot of history (and important one) in the process. A pity that there is no true memorial to the brave and fascinating General Dumas.I am glad that this book, restores some of it.
