The Three Musketeers: Introduction by Allan Massie (Everyman's Library Classics Series)

Alexandre Dumasâ‚¬s most famous taleâ‚¬" and possibly the most famous historical novel of all timeâ‚¬" in a handsome hardcover volume.

This swashbuckling epic of chivalry, honor, and derring-do, set in France during the 1620s, is richly populated with romantic heroes, unattainable heroines, kings, queens, cavaliers, and criminals in a whirl of adventure, espionage, conspiracy, murder, vengeance, love, scandal, and suspense. Dumas transforms minor historical figures into larger- than-life characters: the Comte dâ‚¬Artagnan, an impetuous young man in pursuit of glory; the beguilingly evil seductress â‚¬Å“Miladyâ‚¬Â; the powerful and devious Cardinal Richelieu; the weak King Louis XIII and his unhappy queenâ‚¬"and, of course, the three musketeers themselves, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, whose motto â‚¬Å“all for one, one for allâ‚¬Â has come to epitomize devoted friendship. With a plot that delivers stolen diamonds, masked balls, purloined letters, and, of course, great bouts of swordplay, The Three Musketeers is eternally entertaining.
