    About this ebook

    The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later is the third and last of the d'Artagnan Romances, following The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After. It appeared first in serial form between 1847 and 1850. In the English translations, the 268 chapters of this large volume are usually subdivided into three, but sometimes four or even five individual books. In three-volume English editions the volumes are entitled The Vicomte de Bragelonne, Louise de la Vallière, and The Man in the Iron Mask. Each volume is roughly the length of the original The Three Musketeers. In four-volume editions volume names remain except that Louise de la Vallière and The Man in the Iron Mask move from second and third volumes to third and fourth, with Ten Years Later becoming the second volume. There are usually no volume-specific names in five-volume editions.

      1203. The Vicomte de Bragelonne, by Alexandre Duman (22 Dec 1972) This is the third volume of the D'Artagnan cycle by Dumas. It is laid in 1660, and covers the restoration of Charles II to the throne of England, the death of Mazarin, and the beginnings of the intrigues where Aramis and Porthos are leagued with Fouquet against the King and d'Artagnan. There are two more volumes in the cycle: Louise de la Valliere (which I did not read till 17 Mar 1974) and The Man in the Iron Mask (which I did not read till 16 Feb 1975). This volume has 92 chapters and I did not find it as good or as exhilarating as Twenty Years After, the preceding volume in the cycle, which I had finished 25 Nov 1972.
    • 4/5
      Whilst D'Artagnan and Athos embroil themselves in the restoration of the English monarchy, Aramis and Porthos have their own secrets to keep, and Raoul is becoming well-known at court. Not as action-packed as the preceding Musketeers books but it sets up some intriguing plot lines for the next two volumes.
    • 4/5
      Dumas' third volume of about the four musketeers is usually split into three parts, of which this is the first. The swashbuckling of the first two books is significantly reduced; the story is now one about political intrigue.
    • 2/5
      This is more Twenty Years After than Three Musketeers. As it's only the first part of a long novel it's hard to judge whether the varied events will be drawn into anything resembling a coherent plot (which Twenty Years lacked) or if we will find any over riding themes. It's interested in money and social status. It's highly readable and when you're sitting down and reading it the pages just fly over but I didn't feel the urge to read that I perhaps would have done if there were a little more intellectual and emotional content. There are some funny moments and the chapter 'Throes' is a little comic masterpiece. The introduction contains spoilers, as do the notes, though in their case they are not as bad as in the previous volume. I wonder if Mr Coward received complaints
