My 13 year old son is loving The Count and I haven't read Musketeers but I am wondering if it would be a good and appropriate book for him. Any thoughts from parents out there? I just wanted to ask if this edition has been abridged at all. Anyone know?

This is not the most profound of novels, but it may be the most compelling. More notable than these, however, is the entire exposition, something many novelists have found to be a thankless chore, if not a stumbling block. Sir Walter Scott showed us that the personal is political, that our most particular, most intimate decisions are governed by the political milieu in which we are raised and the allegiances that our background requires. Dumas adopts the contrary principle, namely, that the political is personal: a siege may be lifted, a war started, because an English Duke loves a French Queen. It seems at times that all the characters of "The Three Musketeers"--even the King and the Cardinal, even that most gifted and ruthless The Three Musketeers femme fatales, Milady--are satellites circling the binary star of Buckingham and l'Autriche, whose doomed love is the center The Three Musketeers this impossible--and delightful-- romantic universe.

I should have known better. Honestly, I do not have enough space to fully explain all the ways I adore this book. But I'll try to condense it. Love, love, love, and The Three Musketeers love. Aramis and Porthos - the Merry and Pippin of the group, if you'll excuse the extremely dorkish LOTR cross-reference - made me laugh; D'Artagnan was charming even though or maybe because he had multiple moments where, were I in the story, I I thought that Queen Margot couldn't be topped. Aramis and Porthos - the Merry and Pippin of the group, if you'll excuse the extremely dorkish LOTR cross-reference - made me laugh; D'Artagnan was charming even though or maybe because he had multiple moments where, were I in the story, I wouldn't know whether to kiss him or smack The Three Musketeers upside the head; and the pure unfiltered AWESOME that is Athos cannot be put into words. As soon as I finished it, I wanted The Three Musketeers flip back to page 1 and start all over again. Lots and lots of duels. In Margotall the sex scenes were kept out The Three Musketeers the way and, judging by the description Dumas gave us of the characters' nighttime activities, no one managed to get laid The Three Musketeers the entire book. The Three Musketeers, on the other hand, is by no means a bodice-ripper but is still very romantic. And then there's the scene where D'Artagnan decides that nailing Milady will be a good way to get revenge on her for kidnapping his girlfriend. Which brings me to my next point Holy crap. I try to come up with words to describe her, but I can't do it because my brain sort of slows down until all I can hear are the words "Most. Just go with it, okay? But seriously, let's talk about Milady for a minute. She keeps poison The Three Musketeers her ring, seduces a guard who has been specifically warned that she'll try The Three Musketeers seduce him, stabs herself in the chest to make people think she killed herself, regularly tries to assassinate D'Artagnan and his friends, and was generally such a psychotic bitch that even Cardinal Richelieu was afraid of her. Seriously, fuck you The Three Musketeers. Love, Madeline View The Three Musketeers 45 comments. This is a kick-ass novel, and I am indeed kicking my own ass for not having read it earlier. I'm ashamed to say The Three Musketeers I thought it was a children's book. My wife indignantly refuses any responsibility for my mistake It turns out, on closer examination of the facts, that Elisabeth's mom must have skipped about The Three Musketeers quarter of the text - but I digress. No This is a kick-ass novel, and I am indeed kicking my own ass for not having read it earlier. No, far from being a children's book, this is a noirish thriller, stuffed to the gills with violence, sex, nudity, dangerous blondes, corrupt The Three Musketeers and random acts of mayhem and destruction. I should have known that. Anyway, better late than never. Quite apart from being a terrific read - I just couldn't put it down - Les Trois Mousquetaires is a remarkably interesting book for anyone who's fond of French literature. The merest glance at my French shelf will show you that I like both so-called serious novels and trash - as everyone knows, the French write the best trashy novels in the world. But what do these two literary traditions have The Three Musketeers do with each other? I feel like a paleontologist who's discovered one of those missing links in the fossil record. A kind of literary coelocanth, it's exactly halfway between the two genres. Too well-written to be dismissed as trash, it still has so The Three Musketeers of the defining characteristics of the modern French trash novel that it can't possibly be anything but a direct ancestor. I'd hate to The Three Musketeers away any of the plot - there's a twist every other The Three Musketeers - but let me The Three Musketeers in terms of generalities. Dumas is firmly in the great French tradition of Tragic Love. People in his world are divided into two classes: those who are motivated by Love and Honour, and those who want Money and Power. To be a superior person means belonging to the first group. Unfortunately, living only for Love and Honour isn't very practical, so these superior people generally have rather tragic lives; a theme you see over and over again in mainstream French literature. A particularly clear 20th century example is Belle du Seigneur. Ariane's husband is only interested in Money and Power, and his dreary monologues about his prospects of being promoted The Three Musketeers her to tears. Naturally, she's drawn to The Three Musketeers dashing Solal, who never misses a chance to show how much he despises money it helps that he's very rich. Equally naturally, it all ends up very tragically indeed.

In deze lesmap vindt u alles om van uw leerlingen muzikale helden te maken die goed voorbereid zijn op het concertbezoek waarbij ze kennismaken met de dappere lijfwachten van Lodewijk XIII. Tijdens het concert horen ze de beroemde leuze ‘Eén voor allen, allen voor één’ weerklinken op muziek van de Britse componist Malcolm Arnold. De drie musketiers is een vuistdikke klassieker geschreven door de Franse schrijver Alexandre Dumas. De roman werd voor het eerst als boek gepubliceerd in 1844. Tijdens het OORcollege luisteren de leerlingen naar een nieuwe versie, een fl itsende vertelling perfect op maat van leerlingen van het 3e, 4e en 5e leerjaar. De voorstelling wordt gespeeld door de lijfwachten van theatergroep Lazarus met Joris Van den Brande (spel en tekst), Günther Lesage (spel) en Pieter Genard (spel). Dirk Brossé scherpt alvast het puntje van zijn dirigeerstok om samen met het Antwerp Symphony Orchestra de muzikale uitvoering te verzorgen. Deze lesmap bevat naast achtergrondinformatie en educatieve tips ook nog verschillende uitgewerkte muzische opdrachten die de kinderen stimuleren om zelf actief op zoek te gaan naar de hechte broederschap tussen de musketiers.

  • Alexandre Dumas, the Three Musketeers (Chapters 4 and 5)
    Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers (Chapters 4 and 5) It is young D’Artagnan’s first day in Paris, having come there in hopes of becoming a Musketeer. While he is visiting the chief Musketeer, Treville, he looks out the window and notices a man who had insulted him a day or two before walking in the street. D’Artagnan bursts out, hoping to fight the man. D’Artagnan, in a state of fury, crossed the antechamber at three bounds, and was darting toward the stairs, which he reckoned upon descending four at a time, when, in his heedless course, he ran head foremost against a Musketeer who was coming out of one of M. de Treville’s private rooms, and striking his shoulder violently, made him utter a cry, or rather a howl. “Excuse me,” said d’Artagnan, endeavoring to resume his course, “excuse me, but I am in a hurry.” Scarcely had he descended the first stair, when a hand of iron seized him by the belt and stopped him. “You are in a hurry?” said the Musketeer, as pale as a sheet. “Under that pretense you run against me! You say, ‘Excuse me,’ and you believe that is sufficient? Not at all, my young man. Do you fancy because you have heard Monsieur de Treville speak to us a little cavalierly today that other people are to treat us as he speaks to us? Undeceive yourself, comrade, you are not Monsieur de Treville.” “My faith!” replied d’Artagnan, recognizing Athos, who, after the dressing performed by the doctor, was returning to his own apartment.

Het verhaal, grotendeels waargebeurd, is in de loop der jaren 35 keer verfilmd. In 2003 is van het boek een musical gemaakt door Joop van den Ende Theaterproducties met rollen voor o.a. Pia Douwes, Stanley Burleson en Bastiaan Ragas. Na de jubileumvoorstelling Jesus Christ Superstar in 2015 brengt Studio65 nu de Drie Musketiers naar het Wilminktheater. Wie kent niet de kreet ‘Eén voor allen, allen voor één’. Voor Studio65 Vocaal Theater, dat regelmatig grote theaterproducties opvoert, is dit niet zomaar een kreet; er valt gewoonweg niet aan te ontkomen.

  • The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas Pdf
    The three musketeers by alexandre dumas pdf Continue David Stuart Davies describes how his novels remain a permanent monument to his brilliance as a storyteller The greatest set of literary heroes are these three daredevil musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis and their companion in arms d'Artagnan, the creation of the French writer Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870). In the introduction to the novel The Three Musketeers (1844), the author explains that his inspiration for the book was Mémoires de Monsieur d'Artagnan (1700), the historical fantasy of Gatien de Courtily de Sandras, in which d'Artagnan tells his first visit to Paris and the office of M. de Tréville, captain of the Musketeers, where in the hallway he meets and eventually befriends the three most dangerous musketeers of the era : Athos, Porthos and Aramis. This piece of information flourished in Dumas's creative mind in a famous saga that has delighted generations of readers around the world. In fact, the novel, set in France from 1625 to 1688, is a living romantic romp, telling about the turbulent and exciting adventures of the characters, who are embroiled in the affairs of the state and the royal court. However, Dumas also often deals with various injustices, abuses and absurdities of the old regime that existed before the French Revolution (1789-1799), which took place less than fifty years before the publication of the novel. This gives the narrative an additional contemporary political aspect at a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still
