Ten Years Later

di Alexandre Dumas (Autore)

The Ebook Emporium, 2025

"The merit of all things lies in their difficulty." A decade has passed since the turbulent events of the Fronde, and the year is 1660. The young Louis XIV is no longer a child-king; he is beginning to assert his absolute power, transforming France into the cultural center of the world. But behind the gold-leafed walls of the Louvre and the hunting lodges of Fontainebleau, a new age of conspiracy is dawning—one that will force the legendary Four Musketeers out of their quiet lives and back into the fray. Old Friends, New Enemies: D'Artagnan remains the steadfast Captain of the King's Musketeers, but his brothers-in-arms have taken different paths. Athos lives in dignified retirement; Porthos seeks new titles; and the cunning Aramis is entangled in a high-stakes ecclesiastical and political plot that threatens the very stability of the throne. Ten Years Later masterfully blends the high-octane adventure of their youth with the complex political maneuvering of a changing world. The End of an Era: Dumas crafts a sweeping narrative where personal loyalty is tested against the duty to a monarch. As the musketeers navigate the jealousies of the royal court and the rising power of figures like Colbert and Fouquet, they realize that their greatest challenge isn't a duel in the streets, but the passage of time itself. It is a brilliant exploration of friendship, aging, and the bittersweet nature of legacy. The legends return for one last stand. Purchase "Ten Years Later" today and follow the Musketeers into the heart of the Sun King's reign.
