This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumas’s 1840 novel, ＂The Fencing Master - Life in Russia＂.

This fascinating account constitutes a must-read for fans of Dumas’s work, and would make for a great addition to any bookshelf. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including ＂The Three Musketeers＂ and ＂The Count of Monte Cristo＂. Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have since been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over two hundred motion pictures. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
