Twenty Years After, Volume 1 // 1898 // Alexandre Dumas, Auguste Maquet // T.Y. Crowell, 1898 Twenty Years After. Book Three of the Musketeers Cycle. Edited and translated. By lawrence ellsworth.Â A Note on the Translation: The public appetite for a sequel to The Three Musketeers was so great that the first volumes of Twenty Years After were rushed into book publication before the serial had even finished running in Le SiÃ¨cle. The first (and unauthorized) edition, published in Brussels in early 1845, was cobbled together by collecting the installments published in Paris and was so hastily compiled that it omitted an entire chapter: that of XXIX, â€œGood Councilor Brousselâ€ (â€œLe Bonhomme Brousselâ€) . Twenty Years After is the second of the d'Artagnan Romances, following The Three Musketeers. It is set during the early reign of King Louis XIV in France and the English Civil War in England, leading to Cromwell's victory over King Charles I. The musketeers fight valiantly to protect their monarch, and many previous characters or their children are reprieved from the first novel.Â After an idle youth, Alexandre Dumas went to Paris and spent some years writing. A volume of short stories and some farces were his only productions until 1927, when his play Henri III (1829) became a success and made him famous. It was as a storyteller rather than a playwright, however, that Dumas gained enduring success. Twenty Years After Communism deserves not only to be remembered in two decades' time, but should be on the shelves of all scholars of the region who need to incorporate an understanding of the role of the past into their analysis of the present." - - East European Politics. "This volume has much to offer to media and communication scholars, especially those interested in developing comparative research on issues of cultural politics and commemoration." - - European Journal of Communication. "[A] particularly stimulating work.".

Alexandre Dumas Biography Name ____________________ Period _____ Score ______/30 Early life Alexandre Dumas was born on July 24, 1802 in France. He was the son of a general of the French Revolutionary armies, while his grandfather was from a noble family. Dumas's father died when he was four years old, leaving the family with very little money. Dumas was not a very good student; but, his handwriting was noticeably beautiful so he studied to work as a notary (a public officer who witnesses the signing of important documents and makes them official). As a teen, he discovered his talent for writing. He began with musical comedies and then historical plays in collaboration (working together with others) with a poet friend named Adolphe de Leuven. Historical subjects, as well as his ability to collaborate, were to be permanent elements of Dumas's work during his career. Dumas then found work as a secretary to the Duke of Orléans (later King Louis Philippe, 1773–1850) in Paris, France. He read and attended the theater as much as he could during his time off. He was greatly influenced by the works of William Shakespeare (1564–1616) and wrote his first plays in 1825 and 1826. Others followed, with Henri III (1829) bringing him great success and popularity. The French Revolution of 1830 slowed down Dumas's writing, and he became a strong supporter of the Marquis de Lafayette. His political activities were viewed unfavorably by the new king, his former boss, and he was forced to leave France for a time.

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870)
Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) BLACK EUROPEANS: A British Library Online Gallery feature by guest curator Mike Phillips Thomas-Alexandre Dumas was the son of Marquis Alexandre-Antoine Davy de la Pailleterie, and a slave, Louise-Céssette Dumas, from the Caribbean island colony of Saint Domingue (or Santo Domingo, known as Haiti after 1804). Returning to France in 1780, De La Pailleterie consented to his son joining the army on condition that he did not use his name. Thomas-Alexandre Dumas’ courage and strength became legendary and by 1793 he was a general at 31. Following a successful campaign with Napoleon in Egypt, Dumas seemed set for a brilliant future but, because of his involvement in a republican plot, he was despatched to France, captured during the journey and imprisoned. Freed after 20 months, he was lame, deaf in one ear, partly paralysed and penniless. At the age of 35 he was obliged to retire to Villers-Cotterêts, a quiet village near Paris where he had married Marie-Louise Elizabeth Labouret in 1792. Alexandre was born on 24 July 1802. Madame Dumas was in raptures because of his fair skin and blue eyes. A few days before she had seen a puppet show with a black devil called Berlick, and she had been terrified at the prospect of giving birth to a Berlick. Alexandre adored his father, who died in 1806. Told that his father been taken away by God the four-year-old Dumas angrily declared his intention of going up to heaven and demanding satisfaction. In adult life he was to fictionalise many of his father’s real life exploits in his famous novel The Three Musketeers.

Buyer beware! This edition was abridged.By Daniel Fergus TamulonisThis review concerns the edition of the book and NOT the book itself.The hardback edition "Buccaneer Books" turned out to be severely abridged. No indication of this was given; it is a poor substitution for the real thing, which I only discovered after doing some additional research on the musketeer books and realized many of the key points and dialogue were missing from what I had read. A serious disappointment. By the time I discovered what I had missed, it was too late to return the book.A disappointment!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love it I love it I love itBy elizabethThis should get a dozen stars. I love it I love it I love it... I read the three musketeers and the count of monte cristo when I was younger. Of course, they were fantastic. However, as a senior citizen, I fell in love with this book. The Musketeers are older, and they are still able to ride horses till the horses drop!!! (remembering, that this is fiction, no actual animals are damaged.) This is absolutely a must read for anyone over 45...because the men are still loyal, faithful, true and dashing.

Early Life His Fiction
Early Life Alexandre Dumas was born on July 24, 1802, near Soissons, France. He was the third child of a Creole general of the French Revolutionary armies. His grandfather was from a noble family, and his grandmother had been a Dominican slave. Dumas's father died when he was four years old, leaving the family with very little money. Dumas was not a very good student, but his handwriting was noticeably beautiful, and he studied to work as a notary (a public officer who witnesses the signing of important documents and makes them official).

The Speed of Plot Narrative Acceleration and Deceleration

This article develops the Email: [email protected] popular notion of 'plot speed' into a conceptual contribution to the study of time in narrative. 'Plot speed' is the concep- tual velocity of movement through plot events, and it can be rooted in the physical speed of the storyworld (where char- acters are in a rush) or the discourse speed (where the writ- ten form of the narrative indicates chapters, instalments, and so on). I investigate configurations of plot speed through Dumas’s The Three Musketeers, its precursor Courtilz de Sandras’s Mémoires de M. d’Artagnan, and the manuscripts in which Dumas collaborated with Auguste Maquet, thus arguing for narratological investigations that are situated in contexts of literary history and media changes. KEYWORDS Alexandre Dumas, Auguste Maquet, narrative speed, plot, situated narratology, The Three Musketeers 1 | Narrative organises our experience of time.

In a splendid chamber of the Palais Royal, formerly styled the Palais Cardinal, a man was sitting in deep reverie, his head supported on his hands, leaning over a gilt and inlaid table which was covered with letters and papers. Behind this figure glowed a vast fireplace alive with leaping flames; great logs of oak blazed and crackled on the polished brass andirons whose flicker shone upon the superb habiliments of the lonely tenant of the room, which was illumined grandly by twin candelabra rich with wax-lights.

The Man in the Iron Mask, by Alexandre Dumas
The Man in the Iron Mask, by Alexandre Dumas In A Nutshell In the beginning, there was The Three Musketeers. (Shortly afterward, there was the Shmoop guide. Go check it out.) Next, there was Twenty Years After. Finally, there was The Vicomte de Bragelonne. Together, the three books are known as Alexandre Dumas's D'Artagnan Romances and cover many years of adventures and swordfights, chronicling the lives of four Musketeers. The books were originally published in serial form, meaning they appeared one chapter at a time in the Parisian newspaper Le Siécle. This explains why Dumas's chapters are fairly self-contained and tend to end with a cliff hanger. He needed to retain readers. You can think of the serial form as the 18th century equivalent of a weekly sitcom that keeps the attention of its audience from one week to the next. When The Vicomte de Bragelonne was put together for publication in book form, English translators took one look and realized it was too long. They typically break it up into smaller volumes - sometimes three, sometimes four. No matter how they slice it, they always entitle the last chunk The Man in the Iron Mask. The Man in the Iron Mask takes place thirty-five years after The Three Musketeers. We meet our heroes - Athos, D'Artagnan, Aramis, and Porthos - as they encounter some serious responsibilities and challenges. The story takes place at the court of King Louis XIV.
