"Venti anni dopo" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a novel serialized from January to August 1845. Twenty years have passed since their legendary exploits, and d'Artagnan and his fellow musketeers are summoned back into service during France's turbulent Fronde rebellion. D'Artagnan must reunite his scattered friends—now a nobleman, a wealthy landowner, and a priest—while navigating Cardinal Mazarin's schemes and England's civil war. As political chaos threatens two kingdoms, the aging heroes face prison escapes, royal intrigue, and a dangerous mission that will test their loyalty and valor once more.
