"Vent'anni dopo" è il romanzo centrale della Trilogia dei Moschettieri. Sul finale dei "Tre Moschettieri", i quattro amici prendono strade differenti all'indomani della presa della Rochelle, ciascuno con le proprie speranze. Vent'anni dopo lo scenario è profondamente mutato: è il 1648, Richelieu e Luigi XIII sono morti, mentre Luigi XIV - il futuro Re Sole - non ha che dieci anni ed è la madre, Anna d'Austria, a governare la Francia con il ruolo di Reggente appoggiandosi al primo ministro cardinale Mazzarino.

Questo episodio si concentra prevalentemente sulla storica battaglia di Borodino, a ovest di Mosca, fra l'esercito francese e quello russo, e sul vagabondare di Pierre Bezuchov sul campo di battaglia. Inizia con il bombardamento della città di Smolensk da parte dei francesi. Qui arriva Alpatyc, l'attendente del vecchio principe Bolkonskij, per raccogliere informazioni sulla necessità di evacuare Lysyia Gory; egli incontra il principe Andrej che raccomanda alla sorella e al padre di lasciare la proprietà e di portarsi verso Mosca perché Smolensk è ormai perduta.

Nel giugno del 1812 Napoleone passa il confine della Russia con le sue truppe. È l'inizio della guerra.

Per lui la storia è il prodotto di infinite cause, spesso insignificanti: è il destino che ne dirige il corso.
