El sacrificio de una cortesana. El hijo del gran novelista de aventuras, Alejandro Dumas, tuvo que vivir a la sombra del exito de su padre, cuyo nombre compartia, hasta el punto de que muchos creyeron, cuando a la edad de 23 anos publico La dama de las camelias que obra tan brillante debia ser del padre. Esta novela, basada en la vida de una famosa cortesana parisiense de la vida, cuenta el conmovedor sacrificio de la heroina a favor de una nina que ni siquiera conoce. Todo lo absurdo de las convenciones sociales esta en el fondo de esta obra maestra, que posteriormente el mismo Dumas llevo a las tablas y que fue la base de la opera de Verdi La traviata.

"Insomnia can be a magically thing. I reread this book last night, its more beautiful that ever. Each major character can be loved and hated from a dozen angles. Each character is so real that I can see myself and my closest friends in many of the roles portrayed." — Bob (5 out of 5 stars)
"Insomnia can be a magically thing. I reread this book last night, its more beautiful that ever. Each major character can be loved and hated from a dozen angles. Each character is so real that I can see myself and my closest friends in many of the roles portrayed."
" Probably the most beautiful book I have ever read. "
" Romantic (and tragic) as Hell. Loved it. It's how I roll. "
" Eu fac parte dintre cei ce cred ca totul se afla in putin. Copilul e mic, dar in el e cuprins omul; creierul este stramt, dar el adaposteste gandirea; ochiul nu este decat un punct, dar el cuprinde in privirea sa orizontul. "
" I really wanted to like it but had to force myself to keep reading almost every time after getting tired from the wordiness Dumas kept filling the story with. The story itself was fine as a romantic story not unlike the star-crossed lovers', but I guess I would've liked it better if it was shortened to half its length. "
" This is the basis for the opera La Traviata. It is a beautiful and sad love story. "
" I struggled to start with, but continued to see if it got interesting. It didn't. Supposed to be a heart-breaking love story, I just didn't feel the love. Couldn't quite get to grips with love at first sight either. "
" I'm a really big fan of both the father and son. Where he isn't as detailed as his father witht the story, he shows you the love between two people... "
" Baca skimming gara-gara harus dikembalikan dalam waktu 2 minggu karena sudah ada yang pesan (Perpus LIP). Eh, tetap saja tidak selesai terbaca, karena kurang menarik buatku. "
" Takes you back to that pure romance....Really moving book!A classic! "
" One of my favorite books "
" A Wonderful love story <3 "
