Like-O-Rama 13 - General Alexandre Dumas by Dan and Aaron Like-O-Rama published on 2020-12-12T17:29:35Z This week, Dan is talking about Thomas-Alexandre Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie, the remarkable French general and father of the famous novelist Alexandre Dumas. He inspired much of his son's stories with his daring military adventures, experiences as a prisoner and son of a slave, and years-long feud with none other than Napoleon himself! NOTES / DON'T @ US - We cannot recommend Tom Reiss' biography, "The Black Count", highly enough. It really is one of the best books of the 2010s, period. It should be pretty easy to find, so read it and be immensely happy. There's way more to Dumas' story than this episode covers. - There's a little more background noise than usual this episode. Sorry about that. Genre Entertainment
