The Three Musketeers is a novel by Alexandre Dumas. It recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to become a musketeer. 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, "One for all, and all for one".
DâArtagnan, son of a poor Gascon aristocrat, travels to Paris to seek his fortune. His family connections enable him to obtain a position in a Guard regiment. His provincial ingenuousness and his hot-headed sense of honor earn him three duels in as many hours. Thankfully, his preparation with the sword is sufficient to recommend himself to his Musketeer antagonists, and they â Athos, Porthos, and Aramis â become his fast friends.
But fate also crosses DâArtagnanâs path with some dangerous people who become his opponents: a mysterious âman from Meungâ and a woman who styles herself Milady, who has formidable seduction skills and a heart that is mean and violent. Fate also inserts DâArtagnan and his Musketeer friends squarely in the middle of a love triangle of heroic proportions â between Anne of Austria (the Queen of France), George Villiers (the Duke of Buckingham, Franceâs enemy), and the great spymaster, his Eminence the Cardinal Richelieu. Both of these gentlemen can command the armed forces of their respective countries to battle simply for the pleasure of beating the other. And the Musketeers must serve and risk life and limb at the siege of La Rochelle, a place where the Duke and the Cardinal have chosen to match wills.
It takes all the efforts of the four to fend off the lethal consequences of mixing in the affairs of their betters and the slings and arrows (not to mention the musket and cannon balls!) of their outrageous fortunes.

En fantastisk saga om mod, kÀrlek och vacker hÀmnd! Humoristisk, men Àven mörk, följer man D'Artagnan och dennes tre vÀnner, frÄn deras första möte till det starka band och benhÄrda lojalitet till varandra de bygger upp under berÀttelsens gÄng. Lyssna pÄ den, och njut av berÀttarkonst av högsta klass!
