The Three Musketeers
(Alexandre Dumas pere)
Alexandre Dumas wrote three novels about D'artagnan and his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis.The story of d'Artagnan, a young nobleman who travels to Paris in hopes of joining the Musketeers, a group of swashbuckling adventurers who serve King Louis XIII. His wit and fighting ability make d'Artagnan a welcome addition to their ranks, and together the four young men work to foil the King's evil rival, Cardinal Richelieu. Despite the period setting and constant violence, the story captures and sustains the listener's interest as the Musketeers vanquish the villains Cardinal Richelieu is dead; D'artagnan is serving the new prime minister, Cardinal Mazarin; Athos and Porthos have retired to the country; Aramis has taken holy orders. Nevertheless, they combine together for a nice bit of swashbuckling on behalf of Charles I of England and mix it up with Oliver Cromwell. Le Vicomte de Bragelonne takes place about ten years later, and follows our heros through the reign of Louis XIV.
