Alexander Dumas son

The list of works by Dumas the son is somewhat smaller than his famous ancestor. However, it is worth noting that he is no less valuable in his contribution to the world, and especially French literature.

Younger Alexander Dumas at an early age begins his writing career, and at the age of 18 he published his famous collection of poems, called "Sins of Youth". At the beginning of his career, he wanted to be different from his father. But later he returns to his work, and this influence can be traced in prose.

Stories and plays

However, later the young man releases a series of small plays, short stories, short stories and novels in prose:

• "The novel of one woman";
• "Doctor Servan";
• “The Adventures of 4 Women and a Parrot”;
• "Lady with Pearls."

But the real popularity came to the young author, when the list of works by Dumas son was replenished with the famous work “Lady with Camellias”.

Initially, the work was conceived as a novel, but in the process it became a famous play. She was an overwhelming success, after which other similar creations of Dumas were not called psychological or social.

“Lady with Camellias” could not appear on the scene soon. Faced with a heated rebuff from censorship, Alexander Dumas, the son, was forced to defend the play in front of a whole collection of censors. She was called immoral, not meeting the high standards of social norms and morality.

In 1852, Alexander Dumas still managed to prevail, and for the first time the play became a theatrical production, which won the applause and success of the audience. Giuseppe Verdi, based on her motives, writes her famous opera, La Traviata. It is also known that the character of the main character was taken from life by Alexander Dumas, his lover Marie was the prototype.

Famous works

After the overwhelming success of “Ladies with Camellias”, no less famous and popular plays by Alexander Dumas-son are published:

• "Diana de Lis";
• "Half-light";
• "Money issue";
• “Illegitimate son”;
• “The Prodigal Father”;
• "Friend of women";
• "Views of Madame Obre";
• "Princess Georges";
• "The wife of Claudius";
• "Mr. Alphonse";
• Baghdad Princess
• "Denise";
• The Marquis de Wilmer.

Two plays by A. Dumas, unfortunately many fans, did not have time to finish, and they remained unfinished.

Journalism

Also, Alexander Dumas the son was very fascinated by the field of journalism and social problems in society. Impressed by what is happening around, he publishes his famous brochures and pamphlets:

• "Divorce";
• “Letters on the Malice of the Day”;
• “Women who kill and women who vote” and others.

Thus, a pamphlet was widely publicized, in which Dumas supported a young aristocrat who beat his wife after she cheated on him with her lover. The author expressed a position on the need to punish unfaithful spouses.
