The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas pere. 1. Author's preface. A short time ago, while making researches in the Royal Library for my History of Louis X IV, I stumbled by chance upon the Memoirs of M. d'Artagnan, printed--as were most of the works of that period, in which authors could not tell the truth without the risk of a residence, more or less long, in the Bastille--at Amsterdam, by Pierre. Rouge. The title attracted me; I took them home with me, with the permission of the guardian, and devoured them. It is not my intention here to enter into an analysis of this curious work; and I shall satisfy myself with referring such of my readers as appreci The Three Musketeers, Volume II. by Alexandre Dumas. 4.0 â” 4 ratings â” 0 reviews. subjects: Action & Adventure, Romance, Historical Fiction. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history.

In 1844, Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers, a novel so famous and still so popular today that it scarcely needs introduction. Shortly thereafter he wrote a sequel, Twenty Years After, that resumed the adventures of his swashbuckling heroes. Later, toward the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, another direct sequel to The Three Musketeers that begins, not twenty years later, but a mere twenty days afterward. Dumasâ™ work, including The Three Musketeers and Twenty Years After, are still widely read in classrooms throughout the world and remain entertaining upon rereading.

  • 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).

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.

  • Twenty Years After, Volume 1 // 1898 // Alexandre Dumas, Auguste Maquet // T.Y
    Twenty Years After, Volume 1 // 1898 // Alexandre Dumas, Auguste Maquet // T.Y. Crowell, 1898 Twenty Years After. Book Three of the Musketeers Cycle. Edited and translated. By lawrence ellsworth. A Note on the Translation: The public appetite for a sequel to The Three Musketeers was so great that the first volumes of Twenty Years After were rushed into book publication before the serial had even finished running in Le Siècle. The first (and unauthorized) edition, published in Brussels in early 1845, was cobbled together by collecting the installments published in Paris and was so hastily compiled that it omitted an entire chapter: that of XXIX, “Good Councilor Broussel†​ (“Le Bonhomme Brousselâ€)​ . Twenty Years After is the second of the d'Artagnan Romances, following The Three Musketeers. It is set during the early reign of King Louis XIV in France and the English Civil War in England, leading to Cromwell's victory over King Charles I. The musketeers fight valiantly to protect their monarch, and many previous characters or their children are reprieved from the first novel. After an idle youth, Alexandre Dumas went to Paris and spent some years writing. A volume of short stories and some farces were his only productions until 1927, when his play Henri III (1829) became a success and made him famous. It was as a storyteller rather than a playwright, however, that Dumas gained enduring success. Twenty Years After Communism deserves not only to be remembered in two decades' time, but should be on the shelves of all scholars of the region who need to incorporate an understanding of the role of the past into their analysis of the present." - - East European Politics.

Buyer beware! This edition was abridged.By Daniel Fergus TamulonisThis review concerns the edition of the book and NOT the book itself.The hardback edition "Buccaneer Books" turned out to be severely abridged. No indication of this was given; it is a poor substitution for the real thing, which I only discovered after doing some additional research on the musketeer books and realized many of the key points and dialogue were missing from what I had read. A serious disappointment. By the time I discovered what I had missed, it was too late to return the book.A disappointment!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. I love it I love it I love itBy elizabethThis should get a dozen stars. I love it I love it I love it... I read the three musketeers and the count of monte cristo when I was younger. Of course, they were fantastic. However, as a senior citizen, I fell in love with this book. The Musketeers are older, and they are still able to ride horses till the horses drop!!! (remembering, that this is fiction, no actual animals are damaged.) This is absolutely a must read for anyone over 45...because the men are still loyal, faithful, true and dashing.

  • Early Life His Fiction
    Early Life Alexandre Dumas was born on July 24, 1802, near Soissons, France. He was the third child of a Creole general of the French Revolutionary armies. His grandfather was from a noble family, and his grandmother had been a Dominican slave. Dumas's father died when he was four years old, leaving the family with very little money. Dumas was not a very good student, but his handwriting was noticeably beautiful, and he studied to work as a notary (a public officer who witnesses the signing of important documents and makes them official). He also began writing musical comedies and then historical plays in collaboration (working together with others) with a poet friend named Adolphe de Leuven. Historical subjects, as well as his ability to collaborate, were to be permanent elements of Dumas's work during his career. Dumas then found work as a secretary to the Duke of Orléans (later King Louis Philippe, 1773–1850) in Paris, France. He read and attended the theater as much as he could during his time off. He was greatly influenced by the works of William Shakespeare (1564–1616) and wrote his first plays in 1825 and 1826. Others followed, with Henri III et sa cour (1829) bringing him great success and popularity. The revolution of 1830 slowed down Dumas's writing, and he became a strong supporter of the Marquis de Lafayette. His political activities were viewed unfavorably by the new king, his former boss, and he was forced to leave France for a time. A series of amusing travel books resulted from this period of exile.

I investigate configurations of plot speed through Dumas’s The Three Musketeers, its precursor Courtilz de Sandras’s Mémoires de M. d’Artagnan, and the manuscripts in which Dumas collaborated with Auguste Maquet, thus arguing for narratological investigations that are situated in contexts of literary history and media changes.

Behind this figure glowed a vast fireplace alive with leaping flames; great logs of oak blazed and crackled on the polished brass andirons whose flicker shone upon the superb habiliments of the lonely tenant of the room, which was illumined grandly by twin candelabra rich with wax-lights.

  • The Three Musketeers
    1 Diamonds and Gold It was April 1625. Queen Anne of France was in her bedroom with her maid, Constance. The Queen was very unhappy. The King wanted her to wear some diamonds at a dance. The diamonds were a present to the Queen from the King. The dance was in two weeks’ time. ‘I cannot wear the diamonds. I gave them to the Duke of Buckingham,’ Anne told Constance. ‘But now the Duke is in England. The King will be very angry.’ The Queen started to cry. Constance knew the Queen was right. The diamonds were a big problem. Then Constance had an idea. ‘Madam,’ she said. ‘I know someone who can help you.’ ‘Really? Who?’ asked the Queen. ‘I have a friend,’ Constance replied. ‘His name is D’Artagnan. He is the bravest man in France.’ ‘Oh Constance! Go and ask him now,’ the Queen said. ‘I hope he can do it. I will give him a lot of money. But tell him it must be a secret.’ ‘I will, Madam,’ Constance said. She left the palace and ran to D’Artagnan’s home. She knocked on the door. ‘Hello?’ D’Artagnan shouted. ‘Who is it?’ ‘It’s me, Constance,’ she replied. D’Artagnan opened the door. D’Artagnan was a young man who wanted to be a musketeer in the King’s army. He was brave and handsome. He was in love with Constance. 8 ‘My darling!’ D’Artagnan said. He tried to kiss Constance, but she stopped him. Constance was very pretty and she loved D’Artagnan.
