This big "scumbag" looks like this.
Alexander Dumas
# Dumas
Dumas is, by today's standards, a well-deserved "scumbag" who deserves it. Of course, this man's literary attainments are very high, and his works are quite rich, but it is also an indisputable fact that he looks for flowers and willows, abandons his wife and son, and lets his son (Dumas) wear the hat of "illegitimate son".
# Creative Background
In my bookcase are two of Dumas's novels, "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo", which are foreign chapters of the Chinese martial arts novel series. It was published between 1844 and 1846, after the Opium War (June 1840 to August 1842), according to the events that took place in China at that time. At that time, in 1844, the Qing government signed the "Whampoa Treaty" with France, and France obtained the privileges of the Sino-British "Treaty of Nanking", the "Humen Treaty" except for land cession and indemnity, and all the privileges stipulated in the Sino-US "Wangxia Treaty", which had a disastrous impact on China.
#The Three Musketeers
Returning to the novel itself, The Three Musketeers was published in 1844, the story takes place in the 17th century during the reign of King Louis XIII and Louis XIV, the plot is twisty and vivid, full of elements such as heroism, court struggle, beauty, love, intrigue and friendship, etc., and it feels quite lively to read.
Various countries have remade multiple versions of "Musketeer", and in 1987, the Japanese Kunihiko Yuyama directed an animated version of "Three Musketeers";

#The Count of Monte Cristo
The Count of Monte Cristo was first serialized in the Daily Debating in 1844. Adventure, treasure, beauty, and feud in the book satisfies most of the boys' heroic dreams. It is mainly about Edmond Dontese being framed and imprisoned, finding treasure after escaping from prison, promoting good and punishing evil, and finally retiring from success and leaving the rivers and lakes.
