Beschreibung:
"e;Ten Years Later"e; by Alexandre Dumas is a historical fiction novel that follows the further adventures of the four musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan, ten years after the events of "e;Twenty Years After"e;. The novel begins with the musketeers reuniting in Paris, where they become embroiled in the political intrigues of the day. King Louis XIV has come of age and taken the throne, but he is still young and inexperienced, and his court is rife with factions vying for power.
In this continuing sequel to The Three Musketeers, d'Artagnan discovers Belle-Isle is being fortified and the engineer ostensibly in charge is Porthos. The blueprints show Aramis' handwriting. Despite his friends, d'Artagnan hides the true reason for his presence. Aramis, suspicious of d'Artagnan, sends Porthos back to Paris to warn Fouquet, whilst tricking d'Artagnan into searching for Porthos around Vannes. Porthos warns Fouquet in time, and he cedes Belle-Ile to the king, humiliating Colbert. On returning from the mission, d'Artagnan is made Captain of the King's Musketeers.
