MoreYou get the full original text of this book interwoven with a smart, plain-spoken guide to the characters, quotes, themes, symbols, and more from Shmoop. Written by Alexandre Dumas, The Man in the Iron Mask is the last part in a series of stories known as The Vicomte de Bragelonne. The series appeared in the form of magazine installments from 1847 to 1850, and when editors put the stories together to form one cohesive novel, they realized it was far too long. Instead, the final stories of the series were pulled and assembled into the novel we now know as The Man in the Iron Mask. The novel follows our four favorite heroes (D'Artagnon, Aramis, Porthos, and Athos) of The Three Muskateers fame, thirty-five years after the time in which The Three Muskateers is set. These now older gentleman encounter intrigues and corruption in the court of Louis XIV of France.Designed exclusively for Kindle readers, Shmoop Classics for Kindle offer the original text of some of the greatest works of literature with a built-in interactive guide to help you dig deep into the characters, symbols, themes, and big questions of the book.
