Summary
The Three Musketeers is Alexandre Dumas’s classic tale of adventure and camaraderie, created in collaboration with Auguste Maquet.
Set in 17th-century France, the story follows the spirited young d’Artagnan, who leaves his home in Gascony to join the King’s Musketeers.
In Paris, he befriends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—three gallant swordsmen bound by the motto “One for all, and all for one.” Together, they face political intrigue, forbidden romances, and duels of honor while battling the schemes of Cardinal Richelieu and the enigmatic Milady de Winter.
With its mix of historical detail, swashbuckling action, and enduring themes of loyalty and friendship, the novel remains one of the most beloved works of French literature.
