Despite being ill with consumption, she lives a glittering, moneyed life of nonstop parties and aristocratic balls and savors every day as if it were her last. <p/>Into her life comes Armand Duval. Young, handsome, and recklessly headstrong, he is hopelessly in love with Marguerite, but not nearly rich enough.

But as intense as their love for each other is, it challenges a reality that cannot be denied.... <p/>This Signet Classics version is the only available paperback edition of <i>Camille</i>, a story as old as time and as timeless as love itself. <p/>Translated by Sir Edmond Gosse, with an Introduction by Toril Moi <p/><b>Includes Photos</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"One of the greatest love stories in the world."--Henry James<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alexandre Dumas fils </b>(1824-95) was the illegitimate son of a Belgian seamstress and the famed novelist Alexandre Dumas. He was educated in several Parisian private schools and the Collège Bourbon. The elder Dumas acknowledged him as his natural son and for some time made him his constant companion. In 1847, the younger Dumas published his first novel, <i>Adventures of Four Women and a Parrot</i>, followed a year later by <i>Camille (The Lady of the Camellias)</i>, and ten other novels over the next decade. Following the great success of the dramatic version of <i>Camille</i>, Dumas was gradually drawn away from the novel to the stage. He was elected to the French Academy in 1874 and continued to produce a long line of successful plays until his death. <p/><b>Toril Moi </b>is James B.

The editor of <i>The Kristeva Reader</i> and<i> French Feminist Thought</i>, she recently published a book on Henrik Ibsen.
