The Three Musketeers (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A major new translation of one of the most enduring works of literature, from the award-winning, bestselling co-translator of Anna Karenina with a spectacular, specially illustrated cover.

The Three Musketeers is the most famous of Alexandre Dumas's historical novels and one of the most popular adventure stories ever written. Now in a bracing new translation, this swashbuckling epic chronicles the adventures of d'Artagnan, a brash young man from the countryside who journeys to Paris in 1625 hoping to become a musketeer and guard to King Louis XIII. Before long he finds treachery and court intrigue and also three boon companions: the daring swordsmen Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Together they strive heroically to defend the honor of their queen against the powerful Cardinal Richelieu and the seductive spy Milady.

Review:

"Brisk, agile...a heady mix of intrigue, action, and laughing-in-the-face-of-death badinage [all superbly rendered in this translation]." The New York Times Book Review

Synopsis:
