The Man in the Iron Mask

Written by Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by Christopher Cazenove

Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan— the four musketeers— find themselves caught between conflicting loyalties. Deep inside the Bastille, a young prisoner called merely "Philippe" has languished for eight long years, completely unaware of his real name or the nature of his crime. But Aramis knows his secret— a secret so dangerous that it could change the face of the French monarchy and topple the King from his throne! Will Aramis' cause divide the once indivisible band of musketeers? A tale of mystery, adventure, and political intrigue, this conclusion to the musketeer saga is based on the true story of a masked prisoner who dwelled in the Bastille during Louis XIV' s reign.

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), one of the most universally read French authors, is best known for his extravagantly adventurous historical novels. As a young man, Dumas emerged as a successful playwright and had considerable involvement in the Parisian theater scene. It was his swashbuckling historical novels that brought worldwide fame to Dumas. Among his most loved works are The Three Musketeers (1844), and The Count of Monte Cristo (1846). He wrote more than 250 books, both Fiction and Non-Fiction, during his lifetime.
