Synopsis

First published in 1844, The Three Musketeers is the most famous of Alexandre Dumas's historical novels and one of the most popular adventure novels ever written. Dumas's swashbuckling epic chronicles the adventures of d'Artagnan, a brash young man from the countryside who journeys to Paris in 1625 hoping to become a musketeer and guard to King Louis XIII. Before long, he finds treachery and court intrigue-and also three boon companions, the daring swordsmen Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Together the four strive heroically to defend the honor of their queen against the powerful Cardinal Richelieu and the seductive spy Milady. About the Author Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a prolific author and adventurer who took part in the Revolution of 1830. His most popular works are The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, and The Man in the Iron Mask.

He has also translated from the French, Italian, and Greek. He teaches at the American University of Paris.
