A young man is captivated by a popular Parisian courtesan and attempts to build a life with her despite his family and society’s growing disapproval. An against-all-odds tale that forces one lover to make a drastic decision for the betterment of the other.
A semi-autobiographical story inspired by author Alexandre Dumas’ romance with Marie Duplessis. Camille centers Marguerite Gautier, a coveted courtesan who falls in love with the young gentleman, Armand Duval. Despite her profession, Armand is eager to leave the city and start a life with Marguerite. Unfortunately, their romance is plagued by public ridicule and Marguerite’s deteriorating health. In an effort to protect Armand’s name and status, Marguerite makes a daring sacrifice that leaves him yearning for closure and peace.
Camille is arguably Alexandre Dumas’ most celebrated work. Shortly after its publication, it was adapted into a stage play, followed by an opera called La Traviata. This success also led to more than 20 film adaptations starting in 1915. The heartbreaking story has stood the test of time and continues to reinvent itself for new generations.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Camille is both modern and readable.

Alexandre Dumas, fils (1824–1895) was a French writer and son of the famous novelist of the same name. He was born in Paris and formally educated at the Institution Goubaux and the Collège Bourbon. His earliest novel, Aventures de quatre femmes et d'un perroquet was published in 1847, followed by Césarine and his most notable work, La Dame aux Camélias in 1848. Despite his father’s towering legacy, the young Dumas made a name for himself as an award-winning author and playwright.
