"The Three Musketeers" by Alexandre Dumas
"The Three Musketeers" is a long novel by Alexandre Dumas, published in Serial in the year 1844 and published in book form the same year. It is the story of d'Artagnan, an aspiring musketeer, who, with the titular three musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis, go on chivalric, swash bucketing, and daring adventures across not only France, but the Netherlands and other low countries.
MY THOUGHTS:
This novel isn't all that readable, because of the long historical passages that you don't even know who is narrating the story anymore, but the novel too isn't all that polished.
This novel is the main novel I've read about Idealism. Well, d'Artagnan becomes, luckily, a musketeer in the end. But still, the novel explores not all that about military duties, but the presence of the human soul in the passions they turn to.
I read the Collins Classics of the novel, but I should remark that reading the introduction to the novel is useless because it spoils the plot and the final act where d'Artagnan becomes a musketeer. Well, I dislike the presence of introductions in classic works anyway, I shouldn't have read the introduction.
This book is a great beginner to Dumas, my third Dumas book I've read and the first I read in 2022. But I still prefer reading "The Count of Monte Cristo" because the latter novel has more substance and conviction than "The Three Musketeers". This book I'm reviewing is a novel more on for children, in my opinion.
