Alexandre Dumas Drama Collection

Many people has heard “Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo”,etc. but very few people are really studying Alexandre Dumas.  It’s because his works are too amusing to study seriously. But first of all, Dumas, who was a theatrical author, performed 117 plays, but unfortunately, none of them had no Japanese translation. So I am very happy to publish translations for the first time.
