I think the book would make a great movie even nowadays. Well, I'm glad you're enjoying it. I wonder where the rest of our Dumas crews went off to?

hi i'm new to the site and stumbled across your conversation about Alexandre Dumas. i've only read The Count of Monte Cristo from his works, and i know that he has over ninety different plays and novels but i was just wondering if anyone could spare me a moment to tell me the names of some of his works as i really enjoyed The Count of Monte Cristo and used to absolutely adore anything the three musketeers. thank you for your generosity.
bai teresa
Italiansirena, I'm working on a list right now but he has so many it's going to take a while for me to put them in chronological order. Several of his books are series such as the Three Musketeers and it’s been awhile since I read them which means I’ve forgotten their proper order. Nevertheless here's a brief list including some that have been mentioned before. These are all in English but he has many more that haven't been translated I've noticed. Also you can see Aramis’ post about the Three Musketeers series if you’re interested, very informative about the order they should be read in. And I should mention there’s another book to that series which is called The son of Porthos, or, The death of Aramis but it’s been disputed whether or not Dumas wrote it. I enjoyed it as I thought it finished the series nicely overall.
The Page of the Duke of Savoy
Ascanio
The Black Tulip
The Count of Monte Cristo,
Castle Eppstein
Fernande: the story of a courtesan
The Corsican brothers: Corsica-Paris
The great lover and other plays
Horror at Fontenay
Adventures in Caucasia
My memoirs
Adventures with my pets
Adventures in Czarist Russia
All for a crown; or, The only love of King Henry the eighth. (Catherine Howard)
The journal of Madame Giovanni
The Neapolitan lovers
Monsieur de Chauvelin's will; The woman with the velvet necklace; Balanche de Beaulieu
Celebrated crimes
The war of women
Sylvandire
The following books are mostly, I believe, several different series which I don’t have the proper order yet):
Queen Margot,
Le Chevalier d'Harmental or the Conspirators
Louise de La Valliere
Marguerite de Valois
The forty-five guardsmen
The queen's necklace
Ange Pitou or Taking the Bastille
Chicot the Jester
The memoirs of a physician or Joseph Balsamo
The Countess de Charny
The two Diana’s
The Regent's daughter
The queen's necklace
The company of Jehu – 1894
The Knight of Masion-Rouge,
The whites and the blues
And welcome to the group!In my excitement I almost forgot that!

Wow that's quite an impressive list!I can help you sort out a couple of the series there...
The Valois Romances: Marguerite de Valois (La Reine Margot), Chicot the Jester, The Forty-Five Guardsmen
Another series is: Joseph Balsamo (Memoirs of a Physician), The Queen's Necklace, Taking the Bastille (Ange Pitou), The Countess de Charny, and The Chevalier de Maison Rouge (The Knight of Maison Rouge)
Louise de la Valliere is part of the Three Musketeers series. Not sure about the others, though I think The Chevalier d'Harmental (The Conspirators) and The Regent's Daughter are seperate novels.
And a big welcome to you, Italiansirena!!
All about but cannot be seen,
Can be captured, cannot be held,
No throat, but can be heard.
What am I?
The Wind
Now that's a big help! Thank you, Stephi. That should really clear it up for her.
I´m a big Dumas fan.Originally Posted by Darlin
Hey, where are all the Dumas fans? Not many?
and a evan bigger Aramis (Réne d´Herblay) fan!
It's nice to see you over here. I just finished replying to your post about Aramis. Welcome fellow Dumas fan!
no.. i am not finninsh whith the man in the iron mask and when i am. then i start reading Harry Potter 6.
I hav to read 25 pages a day to be finninsh in time.
and some days i just don´t have the time, i hade days like that.
What do you mean finished in time? Have you set a deadline for HP6? I should be so ambitious. For some reason I've no desire at all to read it and it's just sitting on my computer desk. But good for you. You'll have to tell me if you liked it or not.
as i toold you i am not English, no I am danish ( that´s the reasen way i can´t spell very good), and Harry Potter 6 is not transtaletet to Danish yet.
I am a big fan og Harry Potter and i hav to read wen it comes, and that means that i hav to be finninsh with the man in the iron mask first, then i have to read 25 pages to
be finnish in time before harry potter comes.
(it comes next saterday)
Ah! I see. Well that's cool. About your spelling I wouldn't worry about it because half the English speaking people on the net can't spell or they use some kind of abbreviated net speak. Not only that but I've noticed a lot of American's can't speak English much better than they spell much less write in a second language. I'm exaggerating but only because it's so commendable that you can write English and not do too badly at all.
So does this mean you've read the entire Musketeer series after the Man in the Iron Mask?
Thanks for the spelling thing..
what do you men whith the last ?
I hav read The three musketeers, 20 years after and now I´m reading the last book I am nerly finninshed whith it ( in Denmark the last 4 books is in one, whith another title)
But have you read the last one where Aramis dies? and if you hav then, hav does he die?
I mean he is very old but normely they never die becorse of "that" (i don´t now hav to spell it)
I mean i hav a list over my favorit persons in books there is death and there´s 14 people on it now:
The duke of buckingham
Lord Winter
Sirius Black
Constance
..........
And i coud cary on for ever.

That's a good question! How does he die? I don't quite remember. It's been a few years. That's kind of sad but my memory fails me. It's in The son of Porthos, or, The death of Aramis if you can get a copy.
And about the last I guess I should have phrased it better. I know many people kind of skip the books in between so I was wondering if you'd gone through the entire series with The Man in the Iron Mask being the last book. Looks like you have which makes for a better read imo.
what do you think about The duke of Buckingham (the old one)? after Aramis he is my favorit karakter. (and after Athos and d´Artagnan)
Sorry if thats stupid question, but I don´t now what els I can say.
I really hade my lady for maiking Felton kill Buckingham, he was so cool! and i really fiel sorry for Lord Winter, he lost a good friend and a young man he loved like a son.
I liked the Duke too so I know what you mean. It was a pity but as long as the main characters weren't killed pretty much I was content. Now when - ah, but you haven't finished the book so I can't say any more.
