Dumas
fils. Known to all as 'The Lady of the Camellias' because she is never seen without her favorite flowers, Marguerite Gautier, the most beautiful, brazen, and expensive courtesan in all of Paris. But despite having many lovers, she has never really loved - until she meets Armand Duval, young, handsome, and hopelessly in love with her. 'Marguerite and Armand are the kind of bright, self-destructive young things we still read about in magazines, watch on-screen, or brush up against today.' Liesl Schillinger, from the Note on the Translation.
