Louise de la Balliere is the middle section of The Vicomte de
Bragelonne or, Ten Years After. Against a tender love story, Dumas
continues the suspense which began with The Vicomte de Bragelonne
and will end with The Man in the Iron Mask. It is early summer,
1661, and the royal court of France is in turmoil. Can it be true
that the King is in love with the Duchess d'Orleans? Or has his eye
been caught by the sweet and gentle Louise de la Valliere? No one
is more anxious to know the answer than Raoul, son of Athos, who
loves Louise more than life itself. Behind the scenes, dark
intrigues are afoot. Louis XIV is intent on making himself absolute
master of France. Imminent crisis shakes the now aging Musketeers
and d'Artagnan out of their complacent retirement, but is the cause
just? This new edition of the classic English translation of 1857
is richly annotated and sets Dumas's invigorating tale in its
historical and cultural context. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
