Alexandre Dumas's The Three Musketeers is the greatest swashbuckler ever written. A hot-headed young Gascon named d'Artagnan rides into Paris spoiling for glory and, within a day, has three duels arranged with the finest swordsmen in the king's guard — Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, soon to be his sworn brothers. Behind the flashing blades lie a queen's honor, a set of diamond studs, and the cold patience of Cardinal Richelieu. Endlessly imitated, never equaled, this edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 50 full-page color plates.
