| Summary | "Louise de la Valliere" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel likely written in the mid-19th century, as part of the larger series known as the D'Artagnan Romances. The story follows the adventures and intrigues surrounding D’Artagnan and his friends, delving into their lives intertwined with the French court, particularly focusing on themes of love, betrayal, and power. The main character introduced is D’Artagnan, a loyal musketeer who navigates the complexities not only of duty but also of romantic entanglements. The opening of the novel sets the stage at Fontainebleau, where D’Artagnan finds himself feeling neglected and bored amidst the social flutter of the court. He engages in banter with his friend Planchet, revealing his restlessness as he seeks to escape the ennui of court life. D’Artagnan’s thoughts are preoccupied with his old friends, and signs of their previous adventures loom large, foreshadowing the upcoming revelations of secrets that will entwine them once again in plots of love and loyalty. The narrative hints at political intrigue between figures like Fouquet and Colbert, setting a backdrop of tension that promises drama as the story unfolds.
