Beschreibung:
The story revolves around the young and beautiful Louise de la Valliere, who becomes the mistress of the King of France. Louise is a devout young woman who enters the court of Louis XIV as a maid of honor to Princess Henrietta of England. There she meets and falls in love with Raoul de Bragelonne, a young man who is a close friend of the King's musketeers, including d'Artagnan. However, Louise's beauty and charm catch the eye of the King, who makes her his mistress, causing heartbreak for Raoul. Through his vivid storytelling and detailed historical context, Dumas weaves a tale of love, intrigue, and political machinations in the glittering court of Louis XIV. The novel is a captivating read that offers insight into the complexities of relationships and power dynamics during a pivotal time in French history.
In this continuing sequel to The Three Musketeers, Raoul de Bragelonne finds his childhood sweetheart, Louise de la Vallière, is maid of honor to the Princess. Fearing a tarnishing of Louise's reputation by affairs at court, Raoul seeks to marry her. His father, Athos, the Comte de la Fère, disapproves, but eventually, out of love for his son, reluctantly agrees. The king, however, refuses to sanction the marriage because Louise is of inferior social status, and so marriage is delayed until Louise has earned her fortune and Raoul grows in prestige.
