«Die eiserne Maske» is Marcel Pagnol's historical essay, published by Wilhelm Goldmann Verlag in 1986 as a German-language paperback.
Pagnol reconstructs the case of the famous masked prisoner who died in the Bastille in 1703 without his name or the reason for his confinement being known. In this historical investigation, Louis XIV, Louvois, Saint-Mars and Fouquet appear, while the author tries to debunk the legends and offer his own hypothesis.
Translated from the French by Pamela Wedekind; foreword by Kasimir Edschmid; volume 3862 in the Goldmann-Taschenbuch series.
For readers interested in the history of France and the mysteries of the court of Louis XIV.
