Alexandre Dumas
French · b. 1802
Alexandre Dumas — grandson of a Haitian slave and son of Napoleon's highest-ranking Black general — ran the 19th century's most productive fiction factory: The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo in the same two-year burst. He earned and spent several fortunes, built a château named Monte Cristo, and entered the Panthéon in 2002, France's belated apology.
