From Wikipedia - Reading time: 5 min
The Fencing Master (French Le Maître d'armes)[1] is a novel by Alexandre Dumas[2] published in 1840–1842. The novel is set in Russia.[3][4] The book was written in collaboration with Dumas' fencing teacher, Augustin Grisier. The story is written as Grisier's account of how he came to witness the events of the Decembrist revolt in Russia. The novel was eventually banned in Russia by Czar Nicholas I, and Dumas was prohibited from visiting the country until after the Czar's death. Dumas refers to Grisier with great respect in The Count of Monte Cristo, The Corsican Brothers, and in his memoirs.
