Camille (La Dame aux Camilias) by Alexandre Dumas

"Camille (La Dame aux Camilias)" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel first published in 1848. This semi-autobiographical story follows the tragic romance between Marguerite Gautier, a Parisian courtesan suffering from consumption, and Armand Duval, a young bourgeois who falls deeply in love with her. When Armand convinces her to leave her former life behind, their idyllic countryside existence faces interference from his disapproving father, concerned about family scandal. The tale explores forbidden love, sacrifice, and the harsh morals of 19th-century French society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
