Synopsis

The first in Alexandre Dumas' The D'Artagnan Romances, The Three Musketeers is a classic swashbuckler and a seminal action-adventure story that has become a cornerstone of the genre since its publication in 1844. Set in the fifteenth century, it follows a young D'Artagnan leaving home for Paris with hopes of joining the King's Musketeers. He meets the titular three musketeers—Athos, Porthos, Aramis—and finds himself quickly wrapped up in matters of both court and state.

Goodreads review by Bill on March 18, 2020

This is not the most profound of novels, but it may be the most compelling. Many of its sequences--the Diamond Studs, Milady's seduction of Felton, the attempt of D'Artagnan and The Three to rescue Constance--move with remarkable rapidity. More notable than these, however, is the entire exposition,......more

Goodreads review by Manny on March 10, 2010

This is a kick-ass novel, and I am indeed kicking my own ass for not having read it earlier. I'm ashamed to say that I thought it was a children's book. My wife indignantly refuses any responsibility for my mistake... as she points out, it's entirely my fault if I drew the wrong inferences from the......more

Goodreads review by Valeriu on April 28, 2023

5* printr-o judecată intens afectivă :) Din păcate, cititorii de astăzi nici nu vor să audă de Alexandre Dumas. Romanele de capă și spadă au ieșit din modă. Citim altceva. Sau nimic. E și asta o soluție. „Cititul e o formă de lene”, a spus într-o pagină de jurnal prozatorul Julien Green. Nimic mai ad......more

Un eterno pendiente al que por fin pude darle oportunidad y solo puedo decir que nada se compara con el libro. Las aventuras de Porthos, Athos, Aramis y D’Artagnan son una delicia, las intrigas en la corte, cada detalle de esta historia lo hacen ser lo que es, un clásico extraordinario.......more

Goodreads review by Brad on November 15, 2024

This is going to take some explaining, but my guiltiest pleasure when it comes to books is Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers. I hear you saying, "How on Earth can that be a guilty pleasure?" I know. It's a recognized classic. It has far reaching pop culture impact.It's considered one of the great......more
