Synopsis "La dama de las Camelias (in Spanish)"

Una novela basada en hechos autobiográficos. Marguerite Gautier tiene un palco en la Ópera y no se pierde estreno. Los hombres desean estar con ella una noche, unas horas. Es caprichosa, frívola, está acostumbrada a ser admirada por ellos y al recelo de las mujeres decentes. Vive el lujo decadente de los palcos, los ramilletes de flores, los marrons glacé, sus bombones favoritos y sus amantes. Armand Duval, un sencillo joven que no puede costearse un lujo como ella, la conoce y se enamora, como todos. ¿Qué diferencia habrá entre él y el resto de los amantes? En un juego de amor y celos, Armand descubrirá a la Marguerite real, la frágil mujer detrás del disfraz de cortesana. Y con ella descubrirá que no son los amantes ni las joyas ni las camelias los que lo separan de Marguerite sino la enfermedad y la muerte. Alejandro Dumas (1824, Francia). En casi toda su obra enfatizó el propósito moral de la literatura, sus personajes presentan problemas de seres marginados y víctimas de los convencionalismos. En 1847 publicó su primer libro de poemas bajo el título de Pecados de Juventud y un año más tarde La Dama de las Camelias, el libro que lo consagraría.

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.
