"My Memoirs, Vol. III, 1826 to 1830" by Alexandre Dumas is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. This volume provides personal reflections on Dumas's life experiences and historical events, particularly during a significant period in France. Dumas delves into various encounters with notable figures of his time, including the dramatic life and career of Lord Byron, offering readers insight into both his personal journey and broader cultural contexts. The opening of the memoir introduces us to Dumas's transition from a minor clerk to a fully fledged employee in Paris, highlighting his longing for his mother after months of separation. He reflects on his education, including studies with a doctor named Thibaut, and his burgeoning literary interests, particularly influenced by renowned authors such as Walter Scott, Cooper, and Byron. The narrative sets a vivid backdrop against which Dumas navigates his professional aspirations, attempts to understand his environment, and engages with the literary scene of the time, all while hinting at the interplay of personal ambition and societal expectations in his life.
