Translated into nearly 100 languages, these have made him one of the most widely read French authors in history. In the four-volume edition, the novels are titled The Vicomte de Bragelonne, Ten Years Later, Louise de la Vallière and The Man in the Iron Mask Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870), also known as Alexandre Dumas, père, was a French writer, best known for his historical novels of high adventure. In the three-volume edition, the novels are titled The Vicomte de Bragelonne, Louise de la Vallière and The Man in the Iron Mask.

This vast novel has been split into three, four, or five volumes at various points. The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later, set between 16 serialized from October 1847 to January 1850. Twenty Years After, set in 1648 serialized from January to August, 1845. In addition to restoring Dumas’s snappy dialogue and snarky humor that the Victorian-era translation stifled, Ellsworth restores Chapter XXIX, which has been absent from nearly every British and American version since the nineteenth century. Dumas claimed it was based on manuscripts he had discovered in the Bibliothèque Nationale. Translator Lawrence Ellsworth has triumphantly returned to Dumas’s Musketeers cycle with this fresh translation of Twenty Years After. The dArtagnan novels are: The Three Musketeers, set in 1625 first published in serial form in the magazine Le Siècle between March and July 1844. Dumas based the life and character of dArtagnan on the 17th-century captain of musketeers Charles de Batz-Castelmore, Comte dArtagnan, and Dumass portrayal was indebted to the semi-fictionalized memoirs of dArtagnan written 27 years after the heros death by Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras (published in 1700). The dArtagnan Romances are a set of three novels by Alexandre Dumas telling the story of the musketeer dArtagnan from his humble beginnings in Gascony to his death as a marshal of France in the Siege of Maastricht in 1673.
