Terzo e ultimo romanzo del ciclo dei moschettieri, "Il visconte di Bragelonne", tra l'epopea e il romanzo picaresco, il dramma e la commedia di costume, si svolge nella Francia 'radiosa' di Luigi XIV. I quattro moschettieri - d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos e Aramis - ormai avanti negli anni, si ritrovano su sponde diverse, ma il vincolo saldo dell'amicizia non viene meno anche nei momenti di più forte intensità drammatica.

Il vescovo-moschettiere si reca nella cella di Filippo per liberarlo e convincerlo a partecipare al complotto per sostituire Luigi XIV mentre questi e tutta la sua corte sono alla festa del soprintendente Fouquet nel suo meraviglioso castello di Vaux.

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was one of France's best-known and most-prolific authors. He excelled at many genres, but is probably best known for his stories of high adventure and dashing derring do.

In Volume Four, Dumas relates the 1819 murder of German dramatist August von Kotzebue by Karl Ludwig Sand, the campaign to destroy Father Urbain Grandier in 1634, who was successfully convicted of witchcraft and put to a brutal death, and the consequences of the amorous relationship between the prince of Brancaleone and Nisida.

To paraphrase the note from the translator, The Celebrated Crimes of Alexandre Dumas père was not written for children. The novelist has spared no language - has minced no words - to describe violent scenes of violent times. In this, the fifth of the series, Dumas tells the story of Karl-Ludwig Sand, a man little known to the English-speaking world, but famous among German speakers; he was the man who assassinated August von Kotzebue, a vigorous advocate of Russia's interests and the interests of the Austrian Empire. In the years immediately following the fall of Napoleon, many people in Germany, particularly young people, were eagerly anticipating the coming of liberal government. Much to their dismay, the autocratic governments existing before the war were not only re-established, but put great energy to ensuring that a liberal revolution would never happen. Karl-Ludwig Sand, a young German student, became convinced that Kotzebue was the key figure in this wave of repression. He made up his mind to kill the man, and kill him he did.
