With this classic tale, Dumas embroiders upon history a colorful world of swordplay, intrigue, and romance, earning The Three Musketeers its reputation as one of the most thrilling adventure novels ever written.An Unabridged Translation, Revised and Updated by Eleanor HochmanWith an Introduction by Thomas Flanaganand an Afterword by Marcelle Clements
