"My Memoirs, Vol. I, 1802 to 1821" by Alexandre Dumas is an autobiographical account written in the early 19th century. This volume explores Dumas's early life, his illustrious lineage, and the life of his father, who was a notable general during the French Revolution. The memoir sets the stage for a rich tapestry of personal history and historical events that shaped the author's formative years, allowing readers to glimpse into the origins of one of France's greatest literary figures. The opening of the memoir introduces Dumas's birth in Villers-Cotterets and delves into the complexities surrounding his identity, including disputes over his name and legitimacy. He offers certificates that establish both his and his father's legitimacy, asserting pride in his lineage despite societal prejudices. Dumas recounts tales of his father's adventurous youth, his accomplishments as a soldier, and anecdotes that highlight the striking contrasts between their lives. This biographical sketch not only sets a personal context for Dumas's future endeavors but also reflects the larger cultural and political shifts occurring in France, making for a compelling narrative in the opening chapters.
