O ficţiune istorică, romanul „Cei Patruzeci şi Cinci" porneşte de la evenimentele petrecute spre sfârşitul veacului al XVI-lea, mai exact în anii 1585-1586. Cei Patruzeci şi Cinci a fost scris între anii 1847 şi 1848 în colaborare cu Auguste Maquet, romancier şi dramaturg francez cunoscut în lumea literară mai ales datorită prieteniei cu Alexandre Dumas. Povestea romanului se desfăşoară la 13 ani după masacrul din noaptea Sfântului Bartolomeu, când Franţa este încă în plină tensiune din cauza „războiului religiilor" şi a luptei pentru putere. Structurat pe trei planuri, Cei Patruzeci şi Cinci este o cronică prin excelenţă a stării politice şi sociale ale secolului al XVI-lea: romanul urmăreşte evenimentele tulburi din Parisul acelor vremuri, ascensiunea la putere a lui Henric al IV-lea de Navara şi deruta ducelui d'Anjou, în Flandra. Dumas conduce cu măiestrie inţele intrigilor şi alternează scenele de război cu cele de iubire.

This note regards Alexandre Dumas, père, the father of Alexandre Dumas, fils (son). For the son, see Alexandre Dumas fils. Alexandre Dumas, père (French for "father", akin to Senior in English), born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, was a French writer, best known for his numerous historical novels of high adventure which have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world. Many of his novels, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, The Man in the Iron Mask, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne were serialized. Dumas also wrote plays and magazine articles, and was a prolific correspondent. Dumas was of Haitian descent and mixed-race. His father, General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, was born in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) to Alexandre Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie, a French nobleman, and Marie-Cessette Dumas, a black slave. At age 14 Thomas-Alexandre was taken by his father to France, where he was educated in a military academy and entered the military for what became an illustrious career. Dumas' father's aristocratic rank helped young Alexandre Dumas acquire work with Louis-Philippe, Duke of Orléans, then as a writer, finding early success. He became one of the leading authors of the French Romantic Movement, in Paris. Excerpted from Wikipedia.
