The Three Musketeers is Dumas's work from 1844. D'Artagnan, born in Gascony during the reign of Louis XIII, came to Paris to seek the musketeer captain Treville. There, he accepted dueling requests from the three famous musketeers Athos, Porthos, and Aramis in Paris. When they were about to duel at the agreed location, the guards of the Cardinal Richelieu came, intending to arrest the three musketeers. D'Artagnanly stood up for them and fought alongside them to repel the Cardinal's guards. From then on, the four knights, who met and became friends through their duel, began a series of exciting struggles against the Cardinal's conspiracy and power. The Cardinal, who wanted to expel the Queen from the palace, conspired with Milady, a spy in England, to design various schemes, but each time they were foiled by D'Artagnan and the three musketeers. Set in France, this work, through the author's travel between France and England, vividly presents the knights' vitality, loyalty to women, and devotion to the king, as if in a serial. Dumas's natural imagination and the play-like structure of the novel make it an attractive popular historical novel. His works have been adapted into films many times since their publication.
