"The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later" is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, set in the 1660s during the early reign of Louis XIV. Divided into three parts, the story follows d'Artagnan's resignation from the Musketeers, Louis XIV's rise to power, and the romantic entanglements at the French court. The plot unfolds with political intrigue, secret prisoners, and a plan to replace Louis XIV with his twin brother, Philippe. The novel's themes include the education of a young king and the characters' moral dilemmas. The book has been translated into English and is currently being modernized by Lawrence Ellsworth. It has received praise for its character development and moral depth, particularly in the portrayal of Porthos. The story's third part, "The Man in the Iron Mask," has been adapted into various media, and the novel has inspired sequels and adaptations.
