Summary: "Vingt ans après" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a continuation of "The Three Musketeers," focusing on the adventures and trials of d'Artagnan and his companions in a France rife with political intrigue and civil unrest. The main characters, including d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, navigate a landscape of loyalty, betrayal, and friendship as they confront the machinations of Cardinal Mazarin and the shifting power dynamics of the time. At the start of "Vingt ans après," we are introduced to the aftermath of Cardinal Richelieu's death, with the new Cardinal Mazarin feeling beleaguered in his position as unrest grows among the populace. The narrative establishes a tense atmosphere filled with protests, political maneuvering, and the threat of rebellion. D'Artagnan, now a seasoned officer, is summoned by Mazarin to help quell the unrest. Through an encounter with Rochefort, who has been imprisoned, the reader senses the shifting alliances and the unresolved past of the characters.
