It is May 1660 and the fate of nations is at stake. Mazarin plots, Louis XIV is in love, and Raoul de Bragelonne, son of Athos, is intent on serving France and winning the heart of Louise de la Valliere. D'Artagnan, meanwhile, is perplexed by a mysterious stranger, and soon he learns that his old comrades already have great projects in hand. Athos seeks the restoration of Charles II, while Aramis, with Porthos in tow, has a secret plan involving a masked prisoner and the fortification of the island of Belle-Ile. D'Artagnan finds a thread leading him to the French court, the banks of the Tyne, the beaches of Holland, and the dunes of Brittany. The Vicomte de Bragelonne opens an epic adventure which continues with Louise de la Valliere and reaches its climax in The Man in the Iron Mask. This new edition is the only one in print and is fully annotated with an introduction that sets Dumas's saga in its historical and cultural context.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

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.)

Terzo e ultimo romanzo del ciclo dei moschettieri, "Il Visconte di Bragelonne", tra l'epopea e il romanzo picaresco, il dramma e la commedia di costume, si svolge nella Francia radiosa di Luigi XIV. I quattro moschettieri d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos e Aramis ormai avanti negli anni, si ritrovano su sponde diverse, ma il vincolo saldo dell'amicizia non viene meno anche nei momenti di più forte intensità drammatica. Sullo sfondo, intrecciati con le loro vicende, si sviluppano avvenimenti importanti per la storia europea, a cominciare dal perfezionamento dello Stato assoluto in Francia e della restaurazione monarchica in Inghilterra, mentre fioriscono le avventure galanti all'ombra della corte francese e i molteplici amori del re Sole. È famoso l'episodio della Maschera di ferro, che si svolge lungo diversi capitoli dell'opera e di cui sono state fatte numerose versioni cinematografiche. L'introduzione generale e la premessa di questa edizione sono di Francesco Perfetti.
