Alexandre Dumas ( born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, 24 July 1802 – 5 December 1870) was a French writer, best known for his historical novels of high adventure. Translated into nearly 100 languages, these have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world.

His novels have been adapted since the early twentieth century for nearly 200 films.

It was published in English in 2008 as The Last Cavalier.
