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.
