The Three Musketeers (French: Les Trois Mousquetaires is a historical adventure novel written in 1844 by French author Alexandre Dumas. It is in the swashbuckler genre, which has heroic, chivalrous swordsmen who fight for justice.Set between 1625 and 1628, it recounts the adventures of a young man named dArtagnan (a character based on Charles de Batz-Castelmore dArtagnan) after he leaves home to travel to Paris, hoping to join the Musketeers of the Guard. Although dArtagnan is not able to join this elite corps immediately, he is befriended by three of the most formidable musketeers of the age - Athos, Porthos and Aramis, the three inseparables - and becomes involved in affairs of state and at court.The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical and adventure novel. However, Dumas frequently portrays various injustices, abuses, and absurdities of the Ancien Régime, giving the novel an additional political significance at the time of its publication, a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce. The story was first serialised from March to July 1844, during the July Monarchy, four years before the French Revolution of 1848 violently established the Second Republic.Worlds Classics Deluxe EditionThis book and other Worlds Classics Deluxe Edition are frequently included among the great literature of the 20th century, including the Modern Library 100 Best Novels, The Observers, BBCs and The Telegraphs 100 Greatest Novels of All Time, and The Guardians 1000 novels everyone must read.iBoo Press House uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work.
