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 of the classic translation is fully annotated, and an introduction sets Dumas's saga in its historical and cultural context. 10330 book 1849 The Vicomte de Bragelonne total:513|5:137|4:191|3:148|2:32|1:5| 513 1962 771 29 369042 0192834630 9780192834638 482 28 3.82 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174184067m/369042.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/369042.The_Vicomte_de_Bragelonne 5 0 false Mon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Oct 25 17:13:09 -0700 2009 Sat Nov 07 14:27:13 -0800 2009
Thought it was amusing that the title's namesake didn't really appear much in the book until the end. And it was actually quite a cliffhanger at the end there.
