The rain outside the window was pouring down harder, and if you put it in the words of Great Dumas, it was as if God had overindulged in wine the night before.

Since obtaining the manuscript of "The Red and the Black," he had realized the reasons why this novel was banned in France just one year after its publication.
It wasn't because the book was too fake, but rather because it was too real.
Although Great Dumas's father had been marginalized by Napoleon by the time he was born, he had at least caught a glimpse of the corrupt opulence of French high society in his youth.
During the era of his growth, he also witnessed various demons and monsters emerging from France's lower and middle classes.
