Description

"The three musketeers by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet" is a historical adventure novel written and published in 1844. Set in 1625 France, it follows young d'Artagnan who travels to Paris hoping to join the elite Musketeers of the Guard. Though unable to join immediately, he befriends three legendary musketeers—Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—and becomes entangled in dangerous affairs of state involving Cardinal Richelieu, Queen Anne, and the Duke of Buckingham. This swashbuckling tale of heroic swordsmen fighting for justice launched Dumas's celebrated d'Artagnan Romances. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
