( August 2016 ) The Three Musketeers `` D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos '' Image by Maquet Original title Les Trois Mousquetaires Country France Language French Genre Historical novel, Adventure novel Publication date March -- July 1844 ( serialised ) Pages c. 700 ( depending on edition ) Followed by Twenty Years After, The Vicomte of Bragelonne The Three Musketeers ( French : Les Trois Mousquetaires ( le tʁwa muskətɛʁ ) ) is a historical adventure novel written in 1844 by French author Alexandre Dumas. Situated between 1625 and 1628, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan ( based on Charles de Batz - Castelmore d'Artagnan ) after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard. Although d'Artagnan is not able to join this elite corps immediately, he befriends the three most formidable musketeers of the age -- Athos, Porthos and Aramis, `` the three inseparables, '' as these are called -- and gets involved in affairs of the state and court. In genre, The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical and adventure novel. However, Dumas also frequently works into the plot various injustices, abuses, and absurdities of the old regime, giving the novel an additional political aspect at a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce. The story was first serialised from March to July of 1844, during the July Monarchy, four years before the French Revolution of 1848 violently established the Second Republic. The story of d'Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne : Ten Years Later.

In the very first sentences of his preface, Alexandre Dumas indicated as his source Mémoires de Monsieur d'Artagnan ( 1700 ), a historical novel by Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras, printed by Pierre Rouge in Amsterdam, which Dumas discovered during his research for his history of Louis XIV. It was in this book, he said, that d'Artagnan relates his first visit to M. de Tréville, captain of the Musketeers, where in the antechamber, he met three young Béarnese with the names Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. This information struck the imagination of Dumas so much -- he tells us -- that he continued his investigation and finally encountered once more the names of the three musketeers in a manuscript with the title Mémoire de M. le comte de la Fère, etc. Excited, Dumas requested permission to reprint the manuscript -- permission was granted : Now, this is the first part of this precious manuscript which we offer to our readers, restoring it to the title which belongs to it, and entering into an engagement that if ( of which we have no doubt ) this first part should obtain the success it merits, we will publish the second immediately. In the meanwhile, since godfathers are second fathers, as it were, we beg the reader to lay to our account, and not to that of the Comte de la Fère, the pleasure or the ennui he may experience. This being understood, let us proceed with our story. Following Dumas 's lead in his preface, Eugène d'Auriac ( de la Bibliothèque Royale ) in 1847 was able to write the biography of d'Artagnan : d'Artagnan, Capitaine - Lieutenant des Mousquetaires -- Sa vie aventureuse -- Ses duels -- etc. based on Courtilz de Sandras. The Three Musketeers was written in collaboration with Auguste Maquet, who also worked with Dumas on its sequels ( Twenty Years After and The Vicomte of Bragelonne : Ten Years Later ), as well as The Count of Monte Cristo. Maquet would suggest plot outlines after doing historical research ; Dumas then expanded the plot, removing some characters, including new ones, and imbuing the story with his unmistakable style. The Three Musketeers was first published in serial form in the newspaper Le Siècle between March and July of 1844. Plot summary In 1625 France, d'Artagnan ( a poor young nobleman ) leaves his family in Gascony and travels to Paris to join the Musketeers of the Guard. At a house in Meung - sur - Loire, an older man derides d'Artagnan's horse. Insulted, d'Artagnan demands a duel. But the older man 's companions instead beat d'Artagnan unconscious with a cooking pot and a metal tong that breaks his sword. His letter of introduction to Monsieur de Tréville, the commander of the Musketeers, is also stolen. D'Artagnan resolves to avenge himself upon the man, who is later revealed to be the Comte de Rochefort, an agent of Cardinal Richelieu, who is passing orders from the Cardinal to his spy Lady de Winter, usually called Milady de Winter or simply `` Milady ''. In Paris, d'Artagnan visits M. de Tréville at the headquarters of the Musketeers, but without the letter, Tréville politely refuses his application. He does, however, write a letter of introduction to an academy for young gentlemen which may prepare him for recruitment at a later time. From Tréville 's window, d'Artagnan sees Rochefort passing in the street below and rushes out of the building to confront him, but in doing so he offends three Musketeers, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, who each demand satisfaction ; d'Artagnan must fight a duel with all of them that afternoon. As d'Artagnan prepares himself for the first duel, he realizes that Athos 's seconds are Porthos and Aramis, who are astonished that the young Gascon intends to duel them all. As d'Artagnan and Athos begin, Cardinal Richelieu 's guards appear and attempt to arrest d'Artagnan and the three Musketeers for illegal dueling. Although they are outnumbered, the four men win the battle. D'Artagnan seriously wounds Jussac, one of the Cardinal 's officers and a renowned fighter. After learning of this, King Louis XIII appoints d'Artagnan to Des Essart 's company of the King 's Guards and gives him forty pistoles. Depiction of the Cardinal 's musketeers, the great rivals of the King 's musketeers. D'Artagnan hires a servant named Planchet, finds lodgings, and reports to Monsieur des Essart. Des Essart 's company is a less prestigious regiment in which he will have to serve for two years before being considered for the Musketeers. Shortly after, his landlord speaks to him about his wife Constance Bonacieux 's kidnapping. When she is presently released, d'Artagnan falls in love at first sight with her. She works for Queen Anne of France, who is secretly conducting an affair with the Duke of Buckingham. The King, Louis XIII, gave the Queen a gift of diamond studs, but she gives them to her lover as a keepsake. Cardinal Richelieu, who wants war between France and England, plans to expose the tryst and persuades the King to demand the Queen wear the diamonds to a soirée that the Cardinal is sponsoring. Constance tries to send her husband to London, but the man is instead manipulated by Richelieu and thus does not go, so d'Artagnan and his friends intercede. En route, the Cardinal 's henchmen repeatedly attack them and only d'Artagnan and Planchet reach London. Before arriving, d'Artagnan is compelled to assault, and nearly to kill, the Comte de Wardes, a friend of the Cardinal, cousin of Rochefort and Milady 's lover. Although Milady stole two of the diamond studs, the Duke of Buckingham provides replacements while delaying the thief 's return to Paris. D'Artagnan is thus able to return a complete set of jewels to Queen Anne just in time to save her honour. In gratitude, she gives him a beautiful ring. Shortly afterwards, d'Artagnan begins an affair with Madame Bonacieux. Arriving for an assignation, he sees signs of a struggle and discovers that Rochefort and M. Bonacieux, acting under the orders of the Cardinal, have assaulted and imprisoned her. D'Artagnan and his friends, now recovered from their injuries, return to Paris. D'Artagnan meets Milady de Winter officially, and recognizes her as one of the Cardinal 's agents, but becomes infatuated with her until her maid reveals that Milady is indifferent toward him. Entering her quarters in the dark, he pretends to be the Comte de Wardes and trysts with her. He finds a fleur - de-lis branded on Milady 's shoulder, marking her as a felon. Discovering his identity, Milady attempts to kill him but d'Artagnan eludes her. He is ordered to the Siege of La Rochelle. He is informed that the Queen has rescued Constance from prison. In an inn, the musketeers overhear the Cardinal asking Milady to murder the Duke of Buckingham, a supporter of the Protestant rebels at La Rochelle who has sent troops to assist them. Richelieu gives her a letter that excuses her actions as under orders from the Cardinal himself, but Athos takes it. The next morning, Athos bets that he, d'Artagnan, Porthos, and Aramis, and their servants can hold the recaptured St. Gervais bastion against the rebels for an hour, for the purpose of discussing their next course of action. They resist for an hour and a half before retreating, killing 22 Rochellese in total. They warn Lord de Winter and the Duke of Buckingham. Milady is imprisoned on arrival in England, but she seduces her guard, Felton ( a fictionalization of the real John Felton ), and persuades him to allow her escape and to kill Buckingham himself. On her return to France, Milady hides in a convent where Constance is also staying. The naïve Constance clings to Milady, who sees a chance for revenge on d'Artagnan, and fatally poisons Constance before d'Artagnan can rescue her. The Musketeers arrest Milady before she reaches Cardinal Richelieu. They bring an official executioner, put her on trial and sentence her to death. After her execution, the four friends return to the Siege of La Rochelle. The Comte de Rochefort arrests d'Artagnan and takes him to the Cardinal. When questioned about Milady 's execution, d'Artagnan presents her letter of pardon as his own. Impressed with d'Artagnan's willfulness and secretly glad to be rid of Milady, the Cardinal destroys the letter and writes a new order, giving the bearer a promotion to lieutenant in the Tréville company of musketeers, leaving the name blank. D'Artagnan offers the letter to Athos, Porthos, and Aramis in turn but each refuses it ; Athos because it is below him, Porthos because he is retiring to marry his wealthy mistress, and Aramis because he is joining the priesthood. D'Artagnan, though heartbroken and full of regrets, finally receives the promotion he had coveted.

Cardinal Richelieu : Armand Jean du Plessis, the King 's chief minister, who plots against the Queen in resentment at having his advances rebuffed. Dumas describes him as being `` 36 or 37 '' though in 1625 Richelieu was 40. M. de Tréville -- captain of The Musketeers, and something of a mentor to d'Artagnan, though he has only a minor role. George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham - a handsome and charismatic man used to getting his way : he thinks nothing of starting a war between England and France for his personal convenience. His courtship of Anne of Austria gets her in trouble. John Felton -- a puritan officer assigned to guard Milady and warned about her ways, he is nonetheless seduced and fooled by her in a matter of days and assassinates Buckingham at her request. Editions Les Trois Mousquetaires was translated into three English versions by 1846. One of these, by William Barrow ( 1817 -- 1877 ), is still in print and fairly faithful to the original, available in the Oxford World 's Classics 1999 edition. To conform to 19th - century English standards, all of the explicit and many of the implicit references to sexuality were removed, adversely affecting the readability of several scenes, such as the scenes between d'Artagnan and Milady. The most recent English translation is by Richard Pevear ( 2006 ), who, though applauding Barrow 's work, states that most of the modern translations available today are `` textbook examples of bad translation practices '' which `` give their readers an extremely distorted notion of Dumas ' writing ''.
