    About this audiobook

    The Man in the Iron Mask is a classic novel by Alexandre Dumas. A mysterious prisoner is held anonymously in the French penal system, required to wear a mask when seen by any but his jailer or his valet. There are rumors that the Man in the Iron Mask is the twin brother of Louis XIV, who had been hidden and incarcerated from birth by his father and mother, "for the good of France". In this, the last of the Three Musketeers novels, we see a world of intrigue and suspense, with politics and espionage making themselves known.

    Alexandre Dumas

    Alexandre Dumas was born in 1802. After a childhood of extreme poverty, he took work as a clerk, and met the renowned actor Talma, and began to write short pieces for the theatre. After twenty years of success as a playwright, Dumas turned his hand to novel-writing, and penned such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), La Reine Margot (1845) and The Black Tulip (1850). After enduring a short period of bankruptcy, Dumas began to travel extensively, still keeping up a prodigious output of journalism, short fiction and novels. He fathered an illegitimate child, also called Alexandre, who would grow up to write La Dame aux Camélias. He died in Dieppe in 1870.
