La dame aux camélias by Alexandre Dumas
"La dame aux camélias" by Alexandre Dumas is a novel first published in 1848. Based on the author's own love affair with a courtesan, it tells the tragic story of Marguerite Gautier, a consumptive courtesan, and Armand Duval, a young bourgeois who fall deeply in love. When they retreat to the countryside together, Armand's father intervenes, fearing scandal will ruin the family's reputation. The novel explores forbidden love constrained by society's moral
expectations in nineteenth-century Paris. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
