| Summary |
"Kolme muskettisoturia: Historiallinen romaani" by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The novel follows the adventures of a young gascon named d'Artagnan, who aspires to become a musketeer and embarks on a journey filled with action, intrigue, and historical context during the reign of King Louis XIII of France. D'Artagnan forms a firm bond with the famed musketeers Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, setting the stage for their exciting exploits. The opening of "Kolme muskettisoturia" introduces us to d'Artagnan as he departs his home in Gascogna, equipped with only a horse bequeathed by his father, a handful of coins, and a letter of introduction to the musketeer captain, Monsieur de Tréville. The narrative vividly portrays d'Artagnan's arrival in Meung, where he becomes the target of ridicule due to his old, unsightly horse. D'Artagnan’s fiery temperament leads him into conflict with a mysterious nobleman, resulting in their spiraling confrontation being interrupted. The stage is set for the trials and triumphs that await d'Artagnan as he seeks to establish himself among the legendary musketeers, all while navigating the perilous politics of the time.
