The son of a general of Afro-Caribbean origin, he began working from a young age before directing his attention to writing. He quickly found success with his vaudevilles and historical dramas. He then wrote an impressive number of works, including Henry III and His Courts (1829) and Kean (1836). But it was his series of historical sagas that truly brought him posterity, particularly the trilogy of The Three Musketeers in 1844 or The Count of Monte Cristo the same year.

Analysis
Chapters 1-10
D’Artagnan, the young Gascon (meaning somebody from Gascony), arrives in Paris in 1625. He makes his first appearance in a new world. He has an altercation with Rochefort, who he will later see again, and faces his first humiliation in the presence of Milady. Later, the provincial is welcomed by M. de Tréville, the Captain of the Musketeers, who agrees that d’Artagnan can join them, without being able to give him a title before he campaigns with them.
