THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas
THE THREE MUSKETEERS by Alexandre Dumas THE AUTHOR Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was born in a small French village northeast of Paris. His father had been a general under Napoleon, and his paternal grandfather had lived in Haiti and had married a former slave woman there, thus making Dumas what was called a quadroon. Napoleon and his father had parted on bad terms, with Dumas’ father being owed a large sum of money; the failure to pay this debt left the family poor and struggling, though the younger Dumas remained an admirer of the French emperor. Young Dumas moved to Paris in 1823 and took a job as a clerk to the Duke of Orleans (later to become King Louis Philippe), but soon began writing plays. Though his plays were successful and he made quite a handsome living from them, his profligate lifestyle (both financially and sexually) kept him constantly on the edge of bankruptcy. He played an active role in the revolution of 1830, and then turned to writing novels. As was the case with Dickens in England, his books were published in cheap newspapers in serial form. Dumas proved able to crank out popular stories at an amazing rate, and soon became the most famous writer in France. Among his works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1845), and The Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Dumas’ novels tend to be long and full of flowery description (some cynics suggest that this is because he was paid by the word), and for this reason often appear today in the form of abridged translations (if you ever doubt the value of such an approach, take a look at the unabridged version of Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables sometime). -

NASAT 2012 Round 16 Tossups
NASAT 2012 Round 16 Tossups 1. One king of this place, Bera, rebels against the Elamite king Kedorlaomer, but is told that another man “will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the thong of a sandal.” One former resident of this place leaves it to go to Zoar, protesting that he cannot reach the mountains. After leaving here, one figure fathers Ben-Ammi and Moab after drunkenly having sex with his two daughters in a cave. In this location, two angels visit a man, who protects them from a crowd that wants to have sex with them. While leaving it, one woman looks behind and turns into a pillar of salt. For 10 points, name this wicked city which Lot flees from, which is destroyed by God along with Gomorrah. ANSWER: Sodom 052-12-59-16102 2. This character preemptively creates an alibi for one action by resetting all the clocks at a friend's house. At the beginning of the novel, this character sets off on his yellow horse with a letter of invitation and is knocked out by the companions of the "man from Meung," who becomes his enemy. This character nearly kills the Comte de Wardes on a trip to London with his servant Planchet and later pretends to be Wardes during a tryst, when he discovers the fleur-de-lis branded on a woman's shoulder. This character once comically schedules three duels at noon, 1 PM, and 2 PM, and falls in love with Milady de Winter. A friend of Athos, Aramis, and Porthos, for 10 points, name this Gascon rascal, the protagonist of The Three Musketeers. -

Dumas' classic is a great swashbuckling storyBy Gary HoggattAlexandre Dumas' 1844 novel The Three Musketeers is the most well-known swashbuckling novel in the genre, and with good reason. This well-deserved classic is a lot of fun, and the adventures of d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis are very enjoyable. There are a couple of small issues I have with the story, but it's well worth reading.Dumas takes an interesting approach in that our main protagonist, d'Artagnan, is not in fact one of the titular Three Musketeers. Travelling from Gascony to Paris in 1620's France to make his fortune, the young, arrogant, brave, and - fortunately for himself - very capable d'Artagnan ends up friends with Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, and caught in the web of plots surrounding Cardinal Richelieu, King Louis XIII, and the Queen, Anne of Austria. D'Artagnan and each of the Musketeers are an interesting character in their own right, with Athos serious and brooding, Porthos an amusing but deadly fop, and Aramis constantly flirting with taking up the priesthood. -

MUSKETEERS Ep 1 by Adrian Hodges 12.09.12
THE MUSKETEERS Ep 1 by Adrian Hodges 12.09.12 1 EXT. COUNTRYSIDE. GASCONY. DAY. 1 OPEN on rolling countryside in the ancient province of Gascony, near the Spanish border. A small party of MUSKETEERS ride their horses at walking pace. Their uniforms are distinctive though dirty from the road. The men - five of them in all - look weary. At the head of them is ATHOS (30s), a handsome man of striking aristocratic features. We know a hero when we see one, but we also might sense a hidden melancholy he is too proud to show to the world at large. At his side rides CORNET. He is still young but has an air of authority. He leads a mule with a rope tied to his saddle; the patient creature is laden with heavy saddle bags. Athos reins in his horse and turns to him. ATHOS This is as far as I go. The road is safe enough from here. Cornet extends his hand. Athos shakes it. ATHOS Go on to Bayonne and wait. Cornet nods and glances at the saddle-bags. CORNET Athos? Don’t you wonder what’s in there? ATHOS We’re not paid to be curious. (Pause) When we’re paid at all. He smiles and spurs his horse, turning back in the direction they’ve come. Cornet’s smile fades. We sense a tension in the tight line of his mouth and the way his gaze flicks restlessly around the hills. He darts a glance at his men laughing and joking a few yards behind him.
