In 1625, young d'Artagnan leaves his native Gascony for Paris, with a ridiculous horse and a letter for the captain of the King's Musketeers. On his very first day he challenges three musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, to duels, and they become his friends for life. Together they defend the queen against Cardinal Richelieu and the formidable Milady.
Duels, wild rides and plots: the great swashbuckling novel, and one of the finest stories of friendship in literature.
Full of humour, action and lively dialogue, it is easy to read in the language you are learning.
