The young D'Artagnan and the legendary musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis are 'the inseparables' - ready to sacrifice everything in a duel or game of dice in order to defend their honour or that of the King and Queen of France. Handsome and hot-tempered, they dive into raging battles or back-street conspiracies with gusto, especially if by their daring deeds they can thwart the wicked devices of their arch-enemy, Cardinal Richelieu, and his mysterious accomplice, Milady de Winter.
'Pure swashbuckling pleasure' Daily Telegraph
TRANSLATED BY WILL HOBSON
VINTAGE FRENCH CLASSICS - six masterpieces of French fiction in gorgeous new gift editions.
To be published in time for a major new BBC series, due to be screened in January 2014. Will Hobson's translation gives the dialogue the same charge that it has in the French, to make it as funny, as vivacious, as immediate.
"There was nobody quicker than Dumas. There were few better. Dumas stands proudly in the pantheon of 19th-century greats. He deserves to be regarded alongside Dickens and Tolstoy as an influential, enduring writer." --Glasgow Herald
