Summary: "Twenty Years After" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. It serves as the sequel to "The Three Musketeers" and continues the adventurous saga of D'Artagnan and his friends—Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. This installment delves into their lives twenty years after the original tale, exploring themes of friendship, loyalty, and political intrigue against the backdrop of a tumultuous France. At the start of "Twenty Years After," the reader is introduced to the political discontent in France following the death of Cardinal Richelieu. Cardinal Mazarin, his successor, finds himself in troubling times marked by public outrage against the government. The opening scene is set in the Palais Royal where Mazarin contemplates his precarious position amidst rising unrest. We witness D’Artagnan, now older but no less courageous, as he prepares to navigate this new political landscape. The narrative unveils immediate tensions as D’Artagnan is called to assist Mazarin, and we see hints of past friendships and alliances which will come into play as tensions rise. This opening part lays the groundwork for an epic blend of action, political maneuvering, and the enduring camaraderie of the central characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
