The Three Musketeers is a historical adventure novel written in 1844 by French author Alexandre Dumas.

Der junge Seemann Edmond Dantès kehrt mit der Pharao, einem Schiff des Reeders Morrel, am 24. Februar 1815 nach Marseille zurück. Dantès, der an Bord Erster Offizier ist, genießt die Wertschätzung Morrels und soll zum Kapitän befördert werden. Auch sein privates Glück scheint perfekt: Er liebt die schöne Katalanin Mercédès, die Hochzeit des Paares ist beschlossene Sache. In seiner Unerfahrenheit kümmert es Dantès wenig, dass seine glücklichen Lebensumstände zunehmend die Missgunst von Menschen in seiner Umgebung erregen – noch weniger ahnt er, dass er sich angreifbar gemacht hat.

Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and D'Artagnan—the four musketeers—find themselves caught between conflicting loyalties. Deep inside the Bastille, a young prisoner called merely "Philippe" has languished for eight long years, completely unaware of his real name or the nature of his crime. But Aramis knows his secret—a secret so dangerous that it could change the face of the French monarchy and topple the King from his throne! Will Aramis' cause divide the once indivisible band of musketeers?

Brave, impulsive and infinitely susceptible, D'Artagnan triumphs on the duelling ground and in the boudoir by virtue of his charm, his wit and skills at arms. When these resources prove insufficient his faithful friends Athos, Porthos and Aramis, the Three Musketeers, save the day.
