di Alexandre Dumas (Autore)

The Ebook Emporium, 2025

"Friends of twenty years! Do you know what that means?" The year is 1648. The sun has set on the era of Cardinal Richelieu, but France is in turmoil. Paris is on the brink of the Fronde—a bloody civil war—and a young Louis XIV sits precariously on the throne. D'Artagnan, still a lieutenant of the Musketeers, is tasked by the cunning Cardinal Mazarin to find his old comrades for a mission that will take them from the barricades of Paris to the tragic downfall of King Charles I in England. A House Divided: Time has changed the four friends. D'Artagnan and Porthos remain loyal to the French Crown, while Athos and Aramis have joined the rebels. For the first time, the legendary brothers-in-arms find themselves on opposing sides of a political conflict. Twenty Years After is a masterpiece of psychological depth, exploring how mature men navigate the complexities of duty, honor, and a friendship that transcends political borders. The Shadow of the Past: While the musketeers face the chaos of the present, a ghost from their youth emerges: Mordaunt, the son of Milady de Winter, who seeks a brutal vengeance for his mother's death. This sequel is faster, darker, and more intricate than its predecessor, blending high-stakes espionage with the grand sweep of European history. It is the ultimate proof that the spirit of "All for one, and one for all" never truly dies. Old scores. New wars. One legend. Purchase "Twenty Years After" today and rediscover the greatest friendship in literature.
