OVERVIEW:
The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, first serialized in March–July 1844. Set in the 17th century, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard. D'Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, inseparable friends who live by the motto "all for one, one for all" ("tous pour un, un pour tous").
SUMMARY:
In 1625 d'Artagnan, a poor young nobleman, leaves his family in Gascony and travels to Paris, with the intention of joining the Musketeer of the Guard.
However, en-route, at an inn in Meung-sur-Loire, d'Artagnan overhears an older man making jokes about his horse and, feeling insulted, demands to fight a duel with him. The older man's companions beat d'Artagnan unconscious with sticks and break his sword; his Letter of introduction to Monsieur de Tr?ville, the commander of the Musketeers, is stolen. D'Artagnan resolves to avenge himself upon the man, who is later revealed to be the Comte de Rochefort, an agent of Cardinal Richelieu, who is in Meung to pass orders from the Cardinal to Milady de Winter, another of his agents.
In Paris, d'Artagnan visits de Tr?ville at the headquarters of the Musketeers, but the meeting is overshadowed by the loss of his letter and de Tr?ville refuses his application to join. From de Tr?ville's window, d'Artagnan sees Rochefort passing in the street below and rushes out of the building to confront him, but in doing so he separately causes offense to three of the Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, who each demand satisfaction; D'Artagnan must duel each of them in turn that afternoon.
REVIEWS:
5 Stars Review : Jessa Brezinski - Goodreads
I loved it. I loved it so much. Milady is a fantastic character and even Madame Bonacieux is okay. Kudos to Dumas for creating fascinating, lively female characters.
5 Stars Review : Haytham Tayeb - Goodreads

5 Stars Review : A Reader - weRead
We all saw the movies growing up. But the book stirred my sense of adventure, love, chivalry, nobility in ways I cant describe.

This is a great book and the price was cheaper then I could find it anywhere, and the shipping was incredibly fast.
