Home / The Three Musketeers
The Three Musketeers (Les Trois Mousquetaires) is a
novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. 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".
The story of d'Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The
Vicomte de Bragelonne. Those three novels by Dumas are together known as the
D'Artagnan Romances.
The Three Musketeers was first published in serial form in the
magazine Le Siècle between March and July 1844.
