Description: The Three Musketeers - Alexandre Dumas - Airmont Books Paperback Condition: Acceptable. Please see the images for more details. Blurb: “It was in the year 1844 that all Paris found itself avidly reading the adventures of "Les Trois Mousquetaires" as fast as they appeared, and the fame of Dumas soared to astronomical heights. The sources of these adventures are varied, the basic work being the memoirs of M. d'Artagnan, which were published in The Hague in 1700. Dumas was helped in his work by his aide, Maquet. While the latter provided the rough drafts and ideas, it was Dumas who organized them and gave them their color. Without him, the stories were nothing; with him, they were everything. It is a rare occasion, indeed, that the literary works of an author have caused such a sensation as did Dumas' version of the adventures of d'Artagnan and his three trusty henchmen. I am hard put to find an equal in our day, unless it be the exploits of James Bond. How many admirers of d'Artagnan have not imagined themselves to be followed by three such worthy men as Athos, Aramis, and Por-thos, of rescuing a damsel in distress such as Mme. Bonacieux, or even thwarting the evil designs of Milady Winter? Small wonder that people of all ages and nationalities have re-lived vicariously the exploits of Dumas' swashbuckling heroes.
