Description
Louise de la Vallière is the middle section of The Vicomte de Bragelonne or, Ten Years After. Against a tender love story, Alexandre Dumas continues the suspense which began with The Vicomte de Bragelonne and will end with The Man in the Iron Mask. In 1661, the royal court of France is in turmoil as Louis XIV seeks to make himself absolute master of France. Amidst this uncertainty, Raoul's love for Louise de la Vallière deepens, while dark intrigues unfold behind the scenes. This new edition of Dumas's invigorating tale is richly annotated and sets the story in its historical and cultural context. A story of love, loyalty, and power, The Vicomte de Bragelonne or, Ten Years After offers a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of the royal court during this pivotal period in French history.
