The Black Count by Tom Reiss Pdf

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • ONE OF ESQUIRE’S BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME General Alex Dumas is a man almost unknown today, yet his story is strikingly familiar—because his son, the novelist Alexandre Dumas, used his larger-than-life feats as inspiration for such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers. But, hidden behind General Dumas's swashbuckling adventures was an even more incredible secret: he was the son of a black slave—who rose higher in the white world than any man of his race would before our own time. Born in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), Alex Dumas made his way to Paris, where he rose to command armies at the height of the Revolution—until he met an implacable enemy he could not defeat. The Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. TIME magazine called The Black Count "one of those quintessentially human stories of strength and courage that sheds light on the historical moment that made it possible." But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.

General Alexandre Dumas by John G. Gallaher Pdf

In 1799, however, Dumas left Egypt when Napoleon wanted him to remain with the army. This plunged Dumas deeply into the dungeon of Napoleon's disfavor. Later he was literally imprisoned in southern Italy until 1801. "Napoleon never forgave Dumas," Gallaher notes, "and even continued to punish his wife and children after his death.".

Sons, Lovers, and Fathers by Didier Dumas Pdf

In Sons, Lovers, and Fathers, noted French psychoanalyst Didier Dumas dares to explore all the dimensions of male desire and sexual pleasure. Not another book about technique of playboy fantasies, Dumas's work will help men who are liberated - but still sexually inarticulate - express their deepest feelings in a new way. This is a book for young men constantly overwhelmed by porno-erotic imagery who don't know what to make of their feelings or how to handle themselves in a world of plastic supermodels and pumped-up superstars. And it is a book for women who are baffled by the men in their lives and their inability to speak about or even understand what they feel. This book will get people talking: man to man, father to son, and lovers to each other.
