Description
The novel recounts the adventures of an impoverished 18-year-old Gascon, d'Artagnan, who comes to Paris to pursue a career in the Musketeers. He befriends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, musketeers of King Louis XIII. These four men will oppose the Prime Minister, Cardinal Richelieu, and his agents, including the Count of Rochefort and the beautiful and mysterious Milady de Winter, to save the honor of Queen Anne of Austria. With its numerous battles and dramatic twists, The Three Musketeers is the quintessential swashbuckling novel, and its success was such that Dumas himself adapted it for the stage and brought back the four heroes for the sequel trilogy.
