Excerpt from Episodes From Alexandre Dumas's Monte-Cristo: Le Château d'If
OF the writers of fiction some hold up the mirror to nature, others point a moral, others again are con tent to adorn a tale. Among the last Alexandre Dumas père - as he is called in distinction from his no less famous son is in the very first rank. We must turn to Defoe's Robinson Crusoe or to The Arabian Nights for stories of adventure so universally popular as Le Comte de M ante-cristo, Les Trois Mousquetaires and Les Frères Corses.
