The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later is the third and last of the dArtagnan Romances, following The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After. It appeared first in serial form between 1847 and 1850. In the English translations, the 268 chapters of this large volume are usually subdivided into three, but sometimes four or even five individual books. In three-volume English editions the volumes are entitled The Vicomte de Bragelonne, Louise de la Valliere, and The Man in the Iron Mask. Each volume is roughly the length of the original The Three Musketeers. In four-volume editions volume names remain except that Louise de la Valliere and The Man in the Iron Mask move from second and third volumes to third and fourth, with Ten Years Later becoming the second volume. There are usually no volume-specific names in five-volume editions.

La Reine Margot (1845) is a novel of suspense and drama which recreates the violent world of intrigue, murder and duplicity of the French Renaissance. Dumas fills his canvas with a gallery of unforgettable characters, unremitting action and the engaging generosity of spirit which has made him one of the world's greatest and best-loved story-tellers. This revised edition of the classic translation of 1846 is richly annotated. An introduction sets Dumas and his work in their literary, historical and cultural context.

Rastreando en legajos olvidados y haciéndoseeco de las historias que la tradición popular había convertidoen verdaderas leyendas, Alexandre Dumas fue entregando a la imprentala reconstrucción fidedigna de todos aquellos crimenes historicosque habian llegado a ser celebres, ya fuera por lo macabroy sangriento de su ejecucion, o por el horror de la propia justiciade la epoca, que aplicaba la tortura mas inhumana para conseguirlas confesiones de los condenados. El misterio, el horror, las escenasde pesadilla, la tortura, el desenfreno de las pasiones... son los elementosde los que se nutre la literatura gotica, y que Dumas recogiode la realidad para dar cumplido testimonio a sus lectores del tenebrosocorazon de los hombres. De esta diversidad de dramas judiciarios,tan del gusto de un publico romantico avido de horrores,hemos escogido tres casos que destacan por su truculencia e intensidaddramatica: La Marquesa de Brinvilliers, UrbanoGrandier y Vaninka.

"I do not say there is no character as well-drawn in Shakespeare [as DArtagnan]. I do say there is none that I love so wholly." Robert Louis Stevenson"A masterpiece which remains as fresh and living as if it were written yesterday." Jean Lucas-Dubreton"Dumas had genius of a certain kind the genius that comes of vigour and a sense of the dramatic." Andre MauroisOne of the most celebrated and popular historical romances ever written, The Three Musketeers tell the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman dArtagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the Kings Musketeers: Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of the Cardinal Richelieu and the honor of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of 17th-century France are vividly played out in the background.But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinals spy: Milady, one of literatures most memorable female villains.
