Claude Schopp, a biographer and expert on Dumas's work, found the text in the French national library. The 900-page work is called The Knight of Ste-Hermine and will be published in June by Phebus. It is the third book in a trilogy also including The Companions of Jehu. Most of the book was serialized in Le Moniteur Universel in 1869. But Dumas, already sick, died in 1870 without publishing it. Schopp edited the work and wrote the final lines of the book himself - they will appear in italics. Dumas was born in 1802 in France, the son of a mulatto general who served under Napoleon. He made a considerable income from his writing, but spent it just as quickly, dying penniless.
