Alexandre Dumas, born in France in 1802, is one of the most widely
read French authors in history. His novels of high adventure have
been translated into nearly 100 languages and made into more than
200 movies. A very prolific author, Dumas's published works total
more than 100,000 pages.
He died in 1870 and was buried in his birthplace of
Villers-Cotterets. In 2002, the bicentennial of his birth, he was
reinterred in the mausoleum of the Pantheon in Paris.
"Le Comte de Monte-Cristo," a classic literary tale of revenge,
was first published in serial form in Paris, appearing in 18
volumes of the "Journal des Debats" from 1844-1845. It takes place
in France, Italy, and the Mediterranean. The theme of the novel
extends beyond revenge to encompass hope, justice, mercy, and
forgiveness. As the characters of the story reveal their true
selves through their actions over the course of the book, the
reader also sees romance, loyalty, betrayal, and selfishness.
The unabridged form of this story runs to over 1,000 pages in
either French or English, necessitating multiple volumes of this
bilingual edition, which is designed to assist those learning
French. The original French text appears on the right-hand pages of
the book, with the corresponding English translation on the
left-hand pages.

ILLUSTRATED EDITION
At the age of 67, French author Charles Perrault lost his
employment and decided to focus on his children. In 1697 he
published a collection of short stories based on existing folk
tales, "Histoires ou Contes du Temps Passe." These stories,
presented in this volume, are some of the most well-known
children's stories in the western world, including "Le Petit
Chaperon Rouge" ("Little Red Riding-Hood"), "Cendrillon"
("Cinderella"), "Le Chat Botte" ("Puss in Boots"), and "La Belle au
Bois Dormant" ("The Sleeping Beauty"). Because of this collection
of short morality stories, Perrault is often credited with creating
the literary genre of the fairy tale.

The Tales of Mother Goose""
Storms can come out of a clear blue sky, or they can build over a
long period. They can take many forms, all terribly destructive: a
tornado or hurricane that destroys all your belongings, an abusive
spouse who destroys your sense of well-being, or human actions that
can devastate an entire society.
In this collection of short stories, poetry, non-fiction, and
images, you will find the range of approaching storms, and the
range of emotions involved in such cataclysmic events. Within these
pages you will find Mother Nature on the warpath in the form of
tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, and vengeful plants. You will
find storms approaching in the form of an abusive spouse, a fed-up
spouse, and the down-trodden. You will find murder and suicide.
But, as is always the case after a storm passes, you will also find
life beginning anew.

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1563 or
1564. At 18, he married Anne Hathaway, who was already pregnant
with the first of their three children. William left her and the
children in Stratford to pursue an acting career in London, where
he also began writing and became part owner of an acting company
called the Lord Chamberlain's Men.
Around 1613, Shakespeare returned to Stratford and died there. His
plays have been translated into every major modern language and are
performed around the world more than the works of any other
playwright.
This collection of all 154 sonnets was first published in 1609.
The sonnets deal with the themes of the passage of time, love,
beauty, and morality and were the last of Shakespeare's
non-dramatic works to be printed.
This bilingual edition is designed to assist those learning
French. The English text appears on the left-hand pages of the
book, with the corresponding French on the right-hand pages.
