The Little Prince [LITTLE PRINCE] [Paperback]

A classic from Peter Mayle.

Excerpt from The French Revolution, Vol. 2 In this volume, as in those preceding it and in those to come, there will be found only the history of Public Powers. Other historians will write that of diplomacy, of war, of the finances, of the Church: my subject is a limited one. To my great regret, however, this new part fills an entire volume; and the last part, on the revolutionary government, will be as long.

The novel is a sequel to The Three Musketeers, and follows the adventures of its characters two decades later, during the reign of Louis XIV. The novel begins with the return of d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, who have been separated for twenty years. They reunite in Paris, where they find themselves in the midst of a political and social upheaval.

In Twenty Years Later, Dumas provides a vivid portrayal of seventeenth-century France, its customs, and its people. The novel is filled with vivid descriptions of the Parisian streets, the royal court, and the countryside. Dumas also depicts the turbulent political climate of the time, including the rise of the Fronde rebellion, the exile of the royal family, and the eventual restoration of the monarchy. The characters in Twenty Years Later are complex and multifaceted. D'Artagnan, the protagonist, is a brave and loyal soldier, but also a cunning and ambitious courtier. Athos, the group's elder statesman, is wise and honorable, but also prone to melancholy and regret. Porthos, the brawny musketeer, is boisterous and jovial, but also deeply insecure about his social status. Aramis, the former monk, is a master of intrigue and deception, but also a deeply spiritual man. Throughout the novel, the four friends are challenged by a host of enemies, including the scheming Cardinal Mazarin, the treacherous Milady de Winter, and the ambitious Prince de Conde. Despite these challenges, however, they remain steadfast in their loyalty to one another and to their king.
