With an Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at
Canterbury. The Man in the Iron Mask is the final episode in the
cycle of novels featuring Dumas' celebrated foursome of D'Artagnan,
Athos, Porthos and Aramis, who first appeared in The Three
Musketeers. Some thirty-five years on, the bonds of comradeship are
under strain as they end up on different sides in a power struggle
that may undermine the young Louis XIV and change the face of the
French monarchy. In the fast-paced narrative style that was his
trademark, Dumas pitches us straight into the action. What is the
secret shared by Aramis and Madame de Chevreuse? Why does the Queen
Mother fear its revelation? Who is the mysterious prisoner in the
Bastille? And what is the nature of the threat he poses? Dumas, the
master storyteller, keeps us reading until the climactic scene in
the grotto of Locmaria, a fitting conclusion to the epic saga of
the musketeers.
