‘A Masked Ball’ is a masterful short story written by Alexandre Dumas. Alexandre Dumas (1802–1870) was a French writer. He is best known for his novels ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ and ‘The Three Musketeers'. Dumas is considered as one of the most significant French writers of the 19th century. Dumas’s background was exceptional in 1800’s France as his grandmother was a black slave – and also Dumas faced a lot of racism. Many of Dumas’s books have been filmed into movies.
