The Red Sphinx -- Alexandre Dumas

In 1844, Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers, a novel so famous and still so popular today that it scarcely needs introduction. Shortly thereafter he wrote a sequel, Twenty Years After. Later, toward the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, another direct sequel to The Three Musketeers that begins a mere twenty days afterward. Picking up right where the The Three Musketeers left off, The Red Sphinx continues the stories of Cardinal Richelieu, Queen Anne, and King Louis XIII--and introduces a charming new hero, the Comte de Moret, a real historical figure from the period. Dumas wrote seventy-five chapters of The Red Sphinx, but never quite finished it and the novel languished for almost a century. While Dumas never completed the book, he had earlier written a separate novella, The Dove, that recounts the final adventures of Moret and Cardinal Richelieu.Now for the first time in one cohesive narrative, The Red Sphinx and The Dove make a complete and satisfying storyline--a rip-roaring novel of historical adventure, heretofore unknown to English-language readers, by the great Alexandre Dumas, king of the swashbucklers.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Alexandre Dumas<br><b>Publisher:</b> Pegasus Books<br><b>Published:</b> 01/02/2018<br><b>Pages:</b> 832<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.80lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.90h x 6.00w x 2.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781681776156<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>One of the most famous French writers of the nineteenth c
