Twenty Years After

by Alexandre Dumas



The classic tale of
The Three Musketeers is one of my all-time favorites. The book has spawned a lot of movies but only one (made in the 70’s) comes close to resembling Dumas’ narrative. Twenty Years After is the sequel following the four heroes decades after the first story unfolded. Most people are also familiar with The Man in the Iron Mask from the movie featuring Leonardo DeCaprio, which is actually only part of the third installment of the Musketeer Saga. This is not a book for literary wimps since it logs just under 800 pages (this would take my brother about 10 years to read).
