I have not read that particular one, but I know Andre Maurois-he's a very noted and good biographer. I have read his Three Dumas, a biography of Alexandre Dumas pere, his father, and his son, and their relationships. I wonder if maybe your book is just an extract from The Three Dumas? But either...

ooh, which biography??

I have a very good english teacher who taught me to look carefully at editions and choose good ones. For translations, there are definately some translations better than others - really thin, cheap books tend to have worse translations. I usually use modern library classics, but rarely-I prefer...

I would have suggested reading the Three Musketeers before the man in the iron mask.

I recently read his Le Menteur, and since then he has become one of my favorite authors. I find him more interesting and amusing than moliere, and he makes you think more. Anyone else share my enthusiasm? Also, a question: I know he wrote plays and a treatise, but I've heard that he also...

Playing in the Dark - Toni Morrison ( for school) Henri III et sa cour - Dumas (one of his first and most popular plays) Les Louves de Machecoul - Dumas (one of his less known novels) The 4 Musketeers - non fiction book about the real musketeers Montmorency - Eleanor Updale not much...

IF you just finished the count of monte cristo, I'd suggest you read some other work of Dumas than the black tulip. Try Queen Margot, followed by La Dame de Monsoreau, which I think should be up there among the ranks of the Three Musketeers, which you should also try. All of Dumas' novels: he...

There are a few things common to all Dumas books, and a couple of them are that a)there's lots of coincidences and b)the main character always falls in love with the first pretty girl he sees and that girl 'coincidentially' is important to the plot. Mercedes was there to satisfy the story, so...

I definately second Queen's Own Fool. I rememeber reading it in 5th grade, and asking the librarian if there were any books just like it that she could find.

I think what you're looking for is a modern English translation. Unfortunately, I don't think one exists. Sparknotes is my only suggestion for plot summary, after you read a scene, go look it up and compare.

I've used usedbooksearch, which searches abebooks, amazon,alibris and a lot of other stores. No auctions, though.

I've recently been researching some of the sources Dumas used as well as the historical bases for his novels and also memoirs of those who knew him and wrote of his works(and might have even written some attributed to him). It's fascinating but also very expensive! I've found quite a large...

I've recently started doing some research and I've come accross quite a few old and out of print and simply rare or unfindable books that I need. Some I've been able to find after a lot of searching and a site called usedbooksearch.com. However, a few of the books I have no one of hunting down...

I know it's only a few books, but it seems like a great selection! I loved Pride and Prejudice...still do, I've seen and reread it so many times. jane Eyre I liked less but was still very interesting. And Inkheart is of course one of my favorites. It had soo many book references, I love seeing...

Definately read Stardust, and the go see the movie! I have yet to see it, but it looks really good, and the book is wonderful.

I've seen both books but haven't read them. I know what they're about more or less, though, so I would recommend The Crimson Petal and the White. I haven't read it, but it seems to be the kind of thing you're looking for.

Let's see... Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice - the reason all the irony and sarcasm works really well in this book is because of Elizabeth's intelligence. Although Mr. Darcy is sort of attractive too... Hermione Granger from Harry Potter- Hermione has always been an inspiration...

Sometimes I have weird urges to read a certain genre or reread a certain book. Recently, I've been yearning to read more about King Arthur and more of Jane Austen. I've read most of Austen's novels, but I'm looking for sequels, companion books, etc....As for King Arthur, I've read some T.H...

from what I've heard, Color of Magic is one of his worst. I personally haven't read it. The ones I did enjoy are Mort and Wyrd Sisters. Also, I suggest to you the Bartimaeus Trilogy. A really wonderful fantasy series set in an alternative London with lots of magic and suspense. I love it as...

i assume you've read thinks like terry brooks, terry goodkind, goerge rr martin, etc?
