Classic collector design. Young d'Artagnan, a dashing and ambitious nobleman, is forever changed when he encounters the legendary Three Musketeers—Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. United by a code of honor and driven by an unbreakable bond, these swashbuckling heroes are the epitome of gallantry and courage. Together, they navigate the treacherous corridors of power, facing love, betrayal, and the sinister Cardinal Richelieu, whose cunning schemes threaten not only the throne but the very fabric of their world. Excerpt from The Three Musketeers: “Hold out your hand and swear!” cried Athos and Aramis at once. Overcome by example, grumbling to himself, nevertheless, Porthos stretched out his hand, and the four friends repeated with one voice the formula dictated by D’Artagnan: “All for one, one for all.” “That’s well! Now let us everyone retire to his own home,” said D’Artagnan, as if he had done nothing but command all his life; “and attention! For from this moment we are at feud with the cardinal.” This hardbound, durable copy will outlast any paperback and is a welcome gift for the bibliophiles and Dumas fans in your life. - The minimalistic cover and classic interior design are a perfect fit for the collector's bookshelf. - This original English translation without annotations is ideal for the classroom or homeschool library. - Use in the study of 19th century literature, alongside 17th century French and European history.
