Description
The Three Musketeers tells the story of D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. As they defend the honour of their regiment, they become embroiled in the power struggles of seventeenth century France, with the guards of Cardinal Richelieu and the machinations of the Cardinal himself posing a significant threat.
Against this backdrop, the four musketeers must also contend with the cunning and deadly Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains. Alexandre Dumas masterfully weaves together a tale of adventure, intrigue and danger, bringing his fast-paced narrative skills to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion.
This edition uses the William Barrow translation first published by Bruce and Wylde in 1846, making it a reliable and authentic version of this beloved novel.
