Synopsis:

A major new translation depicts the epic adventures of musketeer-hopeful d'Artagnan and his swordsmen companions in a faithful rendition that endeavors to preserve the original author's wit, romance, and rollicking pace, in an edition that features an introduction to Dumas and the historical environment of his famous historical work. 25,000 first printing.

Review:

" I do not say there is no character as well drawn in Shakespeare [as D'Artagnan]. I do say there is none that I love so wholly."
--Robert Louis Stevenson
" The lasting and universal popularity of The Three Musketeers shows that Dumas, by artlessly expressing his own nature in the persons of his heroes, was responding to that craving for action, strength and generosity which is a fact in all periods and all places."
--Andree Maurois
