Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid, dramatic, and eye-opening historical narrative, The Man in the Iron Mask reveals the story behind the most enduring mystery of Louis XIV’s reign. The Man in the Iron Mask has all the hallmarks of a thrilling adventure story: a glamorous and all-powerful king, ambitious ministers, a cruel and despotic jailor, dark and sinister dungeons— and a secret prisoner. It is easy for forget that this story, made famous by Alexandre Dumas, is that of a real person, Eustache Danger, who spent more than thirty years in the prison system of Louis XIV’s France—never to be freed. This narrative brings to life the true story of this mysterious man and follows his journey through four prisons and across decades of time. It introduces the reader to those with whom he shared his imprisonment, those who had charge of him, and those who decided his tragic fate. The Man in the Iron Mask reveals one of the most enduring mysteries of Louis XIV’s reign; but it is, above all, a human story. Using contemporary documents, this book shows what life was really like for state prisoners in seventeenth-century France—and offers tantalising insight into why this mysterious man was arrested and why, several years later, his story would become one of France’s most intriguing legends that still sparks debate and controversy today.

Download or read book The MAN in the IRON MASK Annotated written by Alexandre Dumas and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, there was The Three Musketeers. Next, there was Twenty Years After. Finally, there was The Vicomte de Bragelonne. Together, the three books are known as Alexandre Dumas's D'Artagnan Romances and cover many years of adventures and swordfights, chronicling the lives of four Musketeers. The books were originally published in serial form, meaning they appeared one chapter at a time in the Parisian newspaper Le Siécle. This explains why Dumas's chapters are fairly self-contained and tend to end with a cliff hanger. He needed to retain readers. You can think of the serial form as the 18th century equivalent of a weekly sitcom that keeps the attention of its audience from one week to the next. When The Vicomte de Bragelonne was put together for publication in book form, English translators took one look and realized it was too long. They typically break it up into smaller volumes - sometimes three, sometimes four. No matter how they slice it, they always entitle the last chunk The Man in the Iron Mask. The Man in the Iron Mask takes place thirty-five years after The Three Musketeers. We meet our heroes - Athos, D'Artagnan, Aramis, and Porthos - as they encounter some serious responsibilities and challenges. The story takes place at the court of King Louis XIV. At court we discover that there are plenty of intrigues in which heroes are involved, including an interesting situation concerning a mysterious man in an iron mask. The Man in the Iron Mask is the darker, more grown-up aftermath of The Three Musketeers, and as you can see in "Themes," the past figures heavily in this novel. By the end of the novel, King Louis XIV has ushered in an era of absolute power, where his word is law and he accepts no dissent. One way to view this book is to see it as the end of an era - the dissolution of a famous friendship and the end of fractured loyalties within a kingdom. For those of you who are historically inclined, you can try reading The Man in the Iron Mask and try to understand how Dumas might also be commenting on the political situation in his own contemporary France. By glorifying the past through creating the beloved characters of D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos, Dumas reminded his readers of what they might be missing in their own France.
