Kurzbeschreibung
The sequel to "The Three Musketeers" (1845). Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady. Time has weakened their resolve and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and strategems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England, Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil. In his introduction to this edition, David Coward sets both the author and his exciting tale in their historical and cultural contexts.

Format:Taschenbuch
I have been in love with Alexandre Dumas' work for quite sometime now. I love the way he portrays friendship, love, and adventure in the same chapter. This book is one shining example of that. He brings the four musketeers together again to triumph over Milady's son. The way he has them come together again is quite remarkable. Along with all of the other books of the series, this has become one of my favorites, and I know I will be reading it over many times to come.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
While my copy of Dumas' "Three Musketeers" bears the mark of my having reread it six or seven times in the form of dog-eared and slightly bent pages, my copy of "Twenty Years After" is probably just as worn, if not more so, as the original manuscript. This enchanting depiction of love-the love between a father and son, and between friends-surpasses all previous attempts to convey the true depth of this emotion. Dumas portrays his characters in the most intricate and emotionally provocative light, particularly Athos. This incarnate depiction of nobility and goodness is the heart and soul of the book, as a father, a friend, a soldier dedicated to the cause of justice. The work is written with such a deep and apparent sense of humanity, to the point where the reader is drawn into every battle, becomes a passionate proponent of every cause. Overall, this is a breathtaking, passionate work, full of intrigue and not at all lacking in humor. An absolute must-read!
Format:Taschenbuch
I was very skeptical when I started this book. I was absolutely certain it would pale in comparison to the wonderful "The Three Musketeers". Boy, was I wrong! I will even go so far as to say I think it might be better than the first story! The characters are fleshed out and matured; Athos in particular. This one made me cry big gulping tears...and I'm not usually a "sappy" woman! It is easy to become engrossed in their adventures and to feel their despair and disappointments. Do yourself a favor and read this book;I know you will love it too!

An Excellent Novel of Epic Proportions
I really liked Twenty Years After. It's weird to end off at the Three Musketeers and suddenly find Lous XIII and Richeleau dead and D'Artagnan in his early forties, but Dumas does... Lesen Sie weiter...
