Alexandre Dumas,Allan Massie: The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers


Description

"The Three Musketeers" has proved enduringly popular for more than a century and a half. Inspiration for many a movie and TV adaptation, this swashbuckling epic of chivalry, honour and derring-do, set in France during the 1620s, is satisfyingly peopled with romantic heroes, unattainable heroines, kings, queens, cavaliers and criminals, and contains in abundance adventure, espionage, conspiracy, murder, vengeance, love, scandal and suspense. Taking as its starting point the memoirs of the historical Comte d'Artagnan, Dumas' imagination transforms the bit-players of history into larger-than-life characters: d'Artagnan himself, the impetuous young man in pursuit of glory but ever ready to respond to an insult; the beguilingly evil seductress 'Milady' (entirely his own creation) and of course the three Musketeers of the title, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, whose motto 'all for one, one for all' has come to epitomize devoted friendship. Interwoven amongst them are vivid fictionalized portraits of major historical figures, amongst them the powerful and devious Cardinal Richelieu, the weak and ineffectual Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, his unhappy Spanish queen. Throw in some stolen diamonds, masked balls, purloined letters, a crumbling medieval prison and a great deal of sword-fighting together with a gripping plot, tremendous narrative drive and a hint of discreet humour, and you have a book totally impossible to put down.

How women with the greatest determination can make the greatest difference. Strong-Willed Women (SWW) make great leaders. Whatever they're doing, wherever they The Three Musketeers free ebook are, they meet the world head-on--unafraid, undaunted, undeterred by those who tell them it can't be done. But sometimes this passion and drive can be misunderstood or misdirected. Author Cynthia Tobias agrees that strong will can be a negative trait--stubborn, defiant, and difficult to deal with. But when properly understood and channeled, that same strong will is a positive trait--energized, resourceful, and determined to succeed. In this book Tobias, an expert in personality-based learning styles, helps other SWWs appreciate their God-given strengths and channel them in productive ways that enhance their personal relationships, position them for career success, and apply their gifts to making a difference in their church and community.
