Produktbeschreibung
"Twenty Years After" by Alexandre Dumas is a sequel to "The Three Musketeers," set two decades later during a time of political unrest in France. The narrative begins with Cardinal Mazarin, who has succeeded Richelieu as the chief minister, facing challenges from the Fronde, a series of civil wars. The story reintroduces D'Artagnan, now a lieutenant in the musketeers, who is tasked with escorting a prisoner, the Comte de Rochefort, from the Bastille to the Palais Royal. Rochefort, a former adversary turned ally, reveals his imprisonment was due to a misunderstanding with the queen. As they travel, D'Artagnan reflects on his past and the whereabouts of his old friends, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. The political climate is tense, with the populace discontented due to heavy taxation and the influence of Mazarin, an Italian perceived as an outsider. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, power, and the complexities of political alliances. Dumas weaves historical events with fictional elements, creating a rich tapestry of adventure and intrigue. The musketeers, though older, are drawn back into the fray, navigating the turbulent political landscape while rekindling their camaraderie and sense of duty.
