Before finishing among the eighteen cases of Crimes famous by Alexandre Dumas father, the murder of the Marquise de Ganges had already attracted the Marquis de Sade. Probably because of the cruelty with which he ate the lot, which was announced by a seer, the beautiful and pure Marie Rossan. So famous for its white beauty to be remembered by kings and queens, had been married for the second of the Ganges Marquis, profligate, greedy man; and it is in the gloomy frame of the family castle, between Avignon and Montpellier, which put into effect the conspiracy by the brothers of her husband. Dumas reported the fact to be experienced crime reporter, adept at accentuating the most sensational aspects and to rise in the twists terror victim.

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.
