I've never read Dumas before. It seemed stilted and archaic at first but then I began liking it. ( ![]() Here's what I wrote after reading in 1985: "Four brave, daring, young soldiers in the service of Louis XIII. They display their valor in and around Paris as they worked for the Queen, Anne of Austria, and against the Cardinal, Cardinal de Richeliue. The character of "Milady", Comtesse de Winter is perhaps the strongest of the novel." Another excellent tale by Dumas. The movie plots do not track his original plot, so very interesting to hear the difference. Listened to audio book from LibriVox This book amused me for the first 200 pages and then something in me snapped and, in spite of Aramis and Porthos, I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't stand how our hero was always right, how everything always worked out and, most of all, how ridiculously emotional the "love" stories were. See http://superiorskirts.com/2013/05/23/our-downfall/ for a short rant on the subject. França, 1625. Um jovem chamado d'Artagnan deixa sua casa na Gasconha para as luzes brilhantes de Paris com a intenção de se tornar mosqueteiro da guarda. No caminho, ouve um homem fazendo piadas sobre seu cavalo e exige uma luta. Ele perde a luta, quebra a espada e recebe uma carta de apresentação ao Monsieur de Treville roubada. Em Paris, d'Artagnan vai ao encontro de Treville e consegue agendar três duelos consecutivos com Aramis, Athos e Porthos, os três mosqueteiros. Ele duela, se apaixona, consegue salvar a rainha da França e estraga os planos do cardeal Richelieu enquanto realiza seu sonho. Originalmente serializada para um jornal, o objetivo é prender a atenção do leitor para ler a próxima parte, por isso a aventura e ritmo acelerado. A história é simples mas envolvente, cheia de grandiosidade, contada de forma emocionante e agradável.

Mixing a bit of seventeenth-century French history with a great deal of invention, Alexandre Dumas tells the tale of young D'Artagnan and his musketeer comrades, Porthos, Athos and Aramis. Together they fight to foil the schemes of the brilliant, dangerous Cardinal Richelieu, who pretends to support the king while plotting to advance his own power. Bursting with swirling swordplay, swooning romance, and unforgettable figures such as the seductively beautiful but deadly femme fatale, Milady, and D'Artagnan's equally beautiful love, Madame Bonacieux, The Three Musketeers continues, after a century and a half of continuous publication, to define the genre of swashbuckling romance and historical adventure.
