The novels fast-moving story is set in the royal court of Louis XIII, where the swaggering Kings Musketeers square off against their rivals: the crimson-clad Guards of the dreaded Cardinal Richelieu. The Red Duke rules France with an iron hand in the name of King Louis--and of Queen Anne, who dares a secret love affair with Frances enemy, Englands Duke of Buckingham. Into this royal intrigue leaps the brash dArtagnan, a young swordsman from the provinces determined to find fame and fortune in Paris. Bold and clever, in no time the youth finds himself up to his Gascon neck in adventure, while earning the enduring friendship of the greatest comrades in literature, the Three Musketeers: noble Athos, sly Aramis, and the giant, good-hearted Porthos. Now from Lawrence Ellsworth, acclaimed translator of The Red Sphinx, comes a new rendition of The Three Musketeers for a new century, one that captures anew the excitement, humor, and spirit of Alexandre Dumass greatest novel of historical adventure. Whether youre meeting the musketeers for the first time or discovering them all over again, its all for one, one for all, in this timeless tale of honor and glory, the flash of dark eyes, and the clash of bright steel.
