The star of Alexandre Dumas, who created the masterpieces of world literature in the genre of a historical love story, does not fade. The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, Mary Stuart, The Iron Mask and other works somewhat freely present the reader with the exciting events of France. The writer's fantasy, amorous twists and turns are interspersed with historical facts, in some cases - reliable, in some - invented by Alexander Dumas, the father.

More than one generation, then with tears in their eyes, then with laughter, reads and rereads the life story of Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. And against the backdrop of passions, the events of the war between north and south on American soil are artistically described.
