| Description: | Select Guide Rating This new translation successfully combines a feeling for the formal proprieties of Dumas's style with a supple and colloquial liveliness that once again proves this story irresistible. La Dame aux Camelias still has the power to cast the spell that has fascinated generations of readers. Dumas''s marvellously beautiful, intelligent, and vibrant heroine lives on in revivals of the stage version, in film and television adaptations, and inLa Traviata, Verdi''s perennially popular opera. For Marguerite has long since attained the status of a myth. Dumas''s subtle and moving portrait of a woman in love is a timeless antidote to the cynicism of every age.
