Synopsis "Amaury (in Spanish)"

Cuando Amaury de Léoville, joven de buena presencia, distinguido y acaudalado, se presenta en casa de su tutor, el señor de Avrigny, decidido a pedirle la mano de su hija Madeleine, por quien es correspondido y junto a la cual ha crecido, no prevé encontrar obstáculo a su pretensión. De forma inesperada, sin embargo, los planes de los jóvenes se verán truncados, prendiendo la mecha de un tortuoso laberinto sentimental orquestado por los celos que no dejará a ningún personaje indemne.

Alexandre Dumas is one of the most prolific and popular authors from France. He was born in 1802 in the city of Villers-Cotterets, and soon moved to Paris to work as a secretary for the Duke of Orléans. There, he completed his education on his own and began to take an interest in writing.
He started by writing plays, and then moved on to poems and long stories. However, his real success did not come until 1844, the year he released the work that would catapult him to fame: The Three Musketeers. The serial publication of this novel brought him a huge sum of money, but it also meant countless hours of work, many collaborators, and the production of up to eighty installments to meet the growing public demand.
After the publication of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas amassed a great fortune. However, his hedonistic nature led him to squander all he had earned and he soon found himself forced to exile in Belgium to escape his French creditors.
The Count of Monte Cristo, the pinnacle of the author's narrative, is considered one of the greatest adventure novels of all time.
