Description :
The Three MusketeersBy Alexandre Dumas
This book was written by French author Alexandre Dumas père in 1844.
The story is partly based on true facts. The figure D'Artagnan is based on Charles de Bast de Castelmore, count of Artagnan. He was a musketeer in the service of King Louis XIV and died during the siege of Maastricht (The Netherlands) in 1673.
Set in the early 17th century this book tells the story of 4 musketeers: Athos, Porthos, Aramis and D'Artagnan. Musketeers were guards to the King. The book narrates the adventures of these four young men. They get involved in: betrayal, lies, assassinations, true friendship, love, kidnap, fighting, and the conspiracy by Cardinal Richelieu to overthrow the King. In this story the brotherhood between men is portrayed as one of the most important values in life.
Three Musketeers is Dumas's much-adapted novel about a young man seeking to join the King's elite guard (the Musketeers) in 17th Century France. The young man, Aramis, quickly runs into three of the Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and hilarity ensues.
Three Musketeers features one of the greatest female villains I have ever encountered in fiction. Cardinal Richelieu is the more typical foil in adaptations, but Milady is the true danger to the four friends.
Three Musketeers has a surprising paucity of swashbuckling. It's a splash of intrigue, a pinch of swordplay, and fill with spoiled, upper class young men behaving badly. But it's fiendishly entertaining.
