Balsamo, the Magician: The Memoirs of a Physician (English Edition)

Alexandre Dumas was a French writer. His works have been translated into nearly 100 languages, and he is one of the most widely read French authors. Many of his historical novels of high adventure were originally published as serials, including The Count of Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.

An alchemist, conspirator, and Freemason, Balsamo figures prominently in the eventual downfall of the French monarchy.
