Attributed to Dumas, pere; first published in French in 1870, the year of Dumas' death. This is an 1890's translation. Erotica or pornography; this could not have been openly published at either time. Very interesting in comparison to Dumas' other works (especially "Antony" and "The Masked Ball," which are equally libertine) if it is actually by him. Especially note the Author's preface, which implies that it is written after the author has died and his soul has transmigrated to Mars! Kindle copies available through Amazon.
