Vent'anni dopo è un romanzo scritto da Alexandre Dumas nel 1845, lavoro centrale del Ciclo dei moschettieri, trilogia che inizia con I tre moschettieri e termina con Il visconte di Bragelonne. Il romanzo ricomincia vent'anni dopo le vicende raccontate ne I tre moschettieri. Il cardinale Richelieu è morto nel 1642 ed è stato sostituito dal cardinale italiano Giulio Mazarino, “odiato” da gran parte del popolo; era morto anche il re Luigi XIII, lasciando Luigi XIV, il Re Sole, ancora bambino, che regnava sotto la reggenza della madre Anna d'Austria. A Parigi, inoltre, dopo un aumento delle tasse da parte di Mazarino scoppia la Fronda, che porta scompiglio nella città e preoccupa il cardinale. D'Artagnan ha ormai quarant'anni, è tenente nei moschettieri del re, non vede i suoi amici da molto tempo e si mette sulle loro tracce. Per primo, ritrova Aramis, o meglio cavaliere d'Herblay, fattosi abate, che non nasconde di appoggiare la Fronda. Poi D'Artagnan va da Porthos, che ha acquistato molte proprietà ed è divenuto il signor du Vallon de Bracieux de Pierrefonds, con lui c'è anche Mousqueton.
Los vampiros son los más sugerentes de los seres fantásticos, y tal vez los más antiguos. Existen en los folclores de casi todas las culturas, si bien la imagen que tenemos de ellos ha evolucionado y, paradójicamente, se ha humanizado con el tiempo. En esta antología se nos muestran 12 ejemplos de ese tránsito de criatura bestial a sofisticada mujer fatal o caballero de atractivo sobrehumano, procedentes de tradiciones tan dispares como la rusa, la francesa o la británica, y movimientos literarios como el romanticismo o el modernismo.
En el año 1784, el viejo mariscal de Richelieu se prepara para un evento importante. Tras un último vistazo en el espejo y un juvenil sacudón de su atuendo, llama a su maître d'hôtel. El mariscal se presenta en un momento solemne, mostrando tanto su nobleza como su humor, mientras indaga sobre un opulento almuerzo. Esta escena de apertura ofrece una visión de las características del mariscal y establece el tono para los acontecimientos que seguirán en la historia.

Ladybird Children's Classics: The Three Musketeers

Three musketeers. Two enemies. One major battle.' 'All for one and one for all!' Country boy d'Artagnan is desperate to join the King's elite band of bodyguards, the Musketeers. And when his fiery loyalties (which often get him into trouble) and incredible sword skill (which get him out again) manages to impress brash Porthos, foppish Aramis and melancholy Athos, the three musketeers and d'Artagnan become friends for life. When they discover that the King they protect is under threat, the Musketeers must outwit the scheming Cardinal Richelieu and the seductive spy Milady - encountering adventure, friendship, romance and intrigue along the way - in order to save France from destruction. But could a deadly secret be the death of them all?
This romance is usually accredited entirely to Paul Meurice, and indeed there is little of the sprightliness and rapid movement which we have grown to expect from Dumas. At the same time it is to be noted that several of the band of adventurers who play a minor part in "Ascanio" again appear. Moreover, they are once more to the fore in "Le Page du Duc de Savoie," which Dumas wrote alone; and he even uses one or two at an impossibly anterior date in his drama "La Tour de Saint-Jacques." Meurice, it may be noted, is thought to have had a small share in "Ascanio." In 1865 this last named produced a dramatised version of "Les Deux Diane," in which Dumas had no hand, and to which he made no objection. (See under the date of 1865.) Some think that Dumas sketched the plot.The two Dianas are Madame de Poitiers and her daughter Madame de Castro. The period is 1521-74, and includes the taking of Calais, the battle of Saint-Quentin, the death of Henri II. and the First Religious Wars.

Ten Years Later - The Original Classic Edition

For those trying to read The Musketeers Saga: I was thoroughly confused by the placement of Ten Years Later in the series. In the original French, there are only three (3) books - 1. The Three Musketeers 2. Twenty Years After and 3. Ten Years Later. Thats it - no more. But when translated, most English editions split the behemoth Ten Years Later into a Trilogy (and some four - which make it all the more confusing!). So the reading list should be 1. The Three Musketeers 2. Twenty Years After and 3a. The Vicomte de Bragelonne 3b. Louise de la Valliere and 3c. The Man in the Iron Mask. Five books - thats the total series! I highly recommend this Classic edition - which has the complete unabridged and annotated version the book. For adventure and pleasure in reading, you cannot beat Alexandre Dumas and his Musketers. (The movies dont hold a candle to the books.)
