    “The Three Musketeers: Milady” hits theaters on Wednesday, December 13th. This is the second part of these films inspired by the novel by Alexandre Dumas. The 20 hours offer the opportunity to take a look at the story of this writer, grandson of a slave who rests in the Pantheon.

    The film “The Three Musketeers: Milady” hits theaters on Wednesday, December 13th. This is the second film dedicated to the novel by Alexandre Dumas. The author had a rich imagination. He published 300 books and rests in the Pantheon, one of the great men. Her grandmother was a slave on a plantation in Haiti. His grandfather, the boss, was a minor nobleman. Alexandre Dumas' father emerged from this connection. He was the first biracial general in the French army. Orphaned at the age of four, Alexandre idealized this father who would be his hero, regardless of allegations about his African origins.

    An extraordinary trip to Russia and the Caucasus

    To pay for all his follies, such as his Monte-Cristo castle in Yvelines, Alexandre Dumas wrote frantically, selling plays and novels to the press in serial form. He made a lot of money but spent even more. He had several affairs with women that cost him his life. As a world-traveling reporter, he traveled through Russia and the Caucasus for ten months, an extraordinary journey for the time, the story of which was published in episodes in the press.
