Biography

Paris welcomed Alexandre Dumas fils on 27 July 1824, and the city’s boulevards echo in every page he wrote. He spun the tale that became Camille (1921), lent his flair to Zorro: New Orleans (2020) and inspired Traviata ’53 (1953). Along the way he shared life’s stage first with Henriette Régnier de la Briére and later with Baroness Nadejda “Nadine” von Knorring Naryschkine. His final curtain fell on 27 November 1895 in Marly-le-Roi, Yvelines, yet the stories he ignited still travel farther than any Parisian cab ever could.
