Four men - the young Gascon D'Artagnan and the legendary musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis - are ready to sacrifice everything, from their purses to their lives, for the common good.

This beautiful gift edition is published to celebrate the major BBC America adaptation, airing in 2014

Four men—the young Gascon D'Artagnan and the legendary musketeers Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—are ready to sacrifice everything, from their purses to their lives, for the common good. Propelled by the wicked machinations of Cardinal Richelieu and the magnetic Milady de Winter, the devoted friends adventure across seas and over rooftops, from masked balls to a medieval prison, to defend the honor of the Queen and the life of the King. Dashing, knockabout, romantic, violent, tongue-in-cheek, chilling, and tragic, The Three Musketeers is a wonderful piece of storytelling. Will Hobson's translation gives the dialogue the same charge that it has in the French, to make it as funny, vivacious, and immediate.


'God's teeth!' Unfailingly exciting and a complete joy to read, this new translation ofThe Three Musketeers brings Dumas's original to buoyant life. This beautiful gift edition is published in advance of the major BBC One adaptation.

All for one, and one for all!

Four men -- the young Gascon D'Artagnan and the legendary musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis -- are ready to sacrifice everything, from their purses to their lives, for the common good. Propelled by the wicked machinations of Cardinal Richelieu and the magnetic Milady de Winter, the devoted friends adventure across seas and over rooftops, from masked balls to a medieval prison, to defend the honour of the Queen and the life of the King. Dashing, knockabout, romantic, violent, tongue-in-cheek, chilling and tragic,The Three Musketeers is a wonderful piece of storytelling.

Recenzijas

Massive, funny, moving, exhaustingly gripping: a melodrama, a revenge drama and, literally, bodice-ripping -- Adam Thirlwell * Independent on Sunday * There was nobody quicker than Dumas. There were few better. Dumas stands proudly in the pantheon of 19th-century greats. He deserves to be regarded alongside Dickens and Tolstoy as an influential, enduring writer * Glasgow Herald * Dumas's novels are shameless word-guzzlers, big and plush and almost sinfully comfortable If Dumas was a hack, he was a hack with genius. His storytelling never seems the least bit mechanical: no assembly line, then or now, could ever turn out a narrative as joyful, as eccentric, as maddeningly human as The Three Musketeers * New York Times * [ Dumas's books] are fast-moving page-turners; vivid, bombastic and irresistible, with their unforgettable characters and flamboyant splatter of French history * Irish Times * The most popular man of the century... More than French...European; more than European...universal -- Victor Hugo

NOTES 699
Alexandre Dumas was a French playwright, historian and prolific novelist, penning a string of successful books including The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and Twenty Years After(1845). His novels have been translated into a hundred different languages and inspired over two hundred films. In his day Dumas was as famous for his financial irresponsibility and flamboyant lifestyle as for his writing. Dumas died in 1870.
