The Man in the Iron Mask is a historical fiction novel written by Andrew Lang. The story is set in the 17th century in France and is based on the legend of a mysterious prisoner who was forced to wear an iron mask to conceal his identity. The novel follows the story of King Louis XIV of France, who is facing a rebellion from his own twin brother, Philippe, who has been imprisoned for years. The king's loyal musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, devise a plan to replace the king with his brother and free him from his imprisonment. However, they soon discover that the prisoner is not Philippe but a mysterious man who has been imprisoned for decades. As the plot thickens, the musketeers must navigate the dangerous political landscape of France and protect their own lives as they try to uncover the truth behind the man in the iron mask. The novel is a gripping tale of loyalty, betrayal, and political intrigue, and is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and adventure stories.This legend was circulated in 1801, and is referred to in a proclamation of the Royalists of La Vendee. In the same year, 1801, Roux Fazaillac, a Citoyen and a revolutionary legislator, published a work in which he asserted that the Man in the Iron Mask (as known in rumor) was not one man, but a myth, in which the actual facts concerning at least two men were blended. It is certain that Roux Fazaillac was right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
