Descriere The Man in the Iron Mask (Royal Collector's Edition) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) - Alexandre Dumas

\nAramis, one of the Three Musketeers, plots to replace Louis XIV with his long-imprisoned identical twin brother, Philippe. Aramis orchestrates Philippe's escape from the Bastille, and takes him to a chateau where Louis is attending a lavish party. With the help of Porthos, another Musketeer, Aramis abducts Louis and imprisons him in the Bastille in Philippe's place. He then substitutes Philippe for the King. Louis is rescued and regains the throne; he sends Philippe back to the Bastille, where he is to permanently wear an iron mask. \n \n \n\n \nAlexandre Dumas got the idea for The Three Musketeers from Courtilz de Sandras' 1700 novel Mémoires de Monsieur d'Artagnan, which was based on real events surrounding the lives of d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Dumas made them human, gave them colour, and made them more real than even the truth itself. Since then the term 'Three Musketeers' has been used to describe a trio of individuals who support each other including Supreme Court Justices, engineers and Japanese wrestlers. The Man in the Iron Mask has been adapted many times in film, television and other media\n \n \n\n \nThis case laminate collector's edition includes a Victorian-inspired dust jacket. \n
