Extrait : "Ce seul moment suffit à d'Artagnan pour prendre son parti : c'était là un de ces événements qui décident de la vie d'un homme, c'était un choix à faire entre le roi et le cardinal ; ce choix fait, il allait y persévérer. Se battre, c'est-à-dire désobéir à la loi, c'est-à-dire risquer sa tête, c'est-à-dire se faire d'un seul coup l'ennemi d'un ministre plus puissant que le roi lui-même (...)"

About the Author
One of the most widely read French authors in history, Alexandre Dumas is best-known for his iconic classic The Three Musketeers, as well as for The Count of Monte Cristo, and the two Musketeer sequels Twenty Years After and The Vicomte de Bragelome: Ten Years Later. Dumas began his writing career as a successful playwright, and later evolved to writing magazine articles and travel books, before extending his talents to fiction. His work has been translated into over one hundred languages and has been the subject of nearly two hundred film adaptations that include talent as varied as Leonardo DiCaprio, James Whale, and Mickey Mouse.

Adventure, Seduction, Intrigue, and Justice (in a fine Kindle French edition)
By Jefferson
Reading Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers (1844) (in the original French thanks to the well-formatted and free as far as I could tell from typos Candide & Cyrano Kindle version and the Collins French Kindle dictionary) surprised me because the film adaptations had made me expect a funny adventure story full of swordplay and derring-do. Although there are duels and skirmishes aplenty, the novel is really about love and often feels like Les Liaisons Dangereuse. The Romeo-like Duke of Buckingham tries to make the French queen fall in love with him, to the point of going to war with France ("for a word from her, I would betray my country, I would betray my king, I would betray my God"), d'Artagnan pursues both the angelic Constance ("His heart, swollen with the intoxication of joy, was about to swoon on the brink of the terrestrial paradise called love") and the demonic Milady ("he felt an insane passion for this woman burning him"), and the Three Musketeers are involved with past and present amours.
The novel is set in 1625, a time of conflict between the European powers and between Protestants and Catholics (who are trying to exterminate each other). In that context, the young Gascogne d'Artagnan arrives in Paris, where he wants to join the King's guard as a Musketeer ("I don't have the uniform, but I have the spirit"). He immediately falls afoul of and arranges duels with the Three Musketeers (Athos, Porthos, and Aramis), after which the four become fast friends trying to make ends meet. After d'Artagnan and company try to thwart a scheme to discredit the Queen, the novel becomes quite compelling as Dumas develops the personalities of the four friends, who tend to gamble and brawl, but otherwise are quite different: Aramis intelligent and poetic, intending to enter the church; Porthos strong and vain (an Ajax), courting mature wealthy married women; and Athos mysterious and melancholic, ever drinking wine and giving cynical fatherly advice to d'Artagnan ("I say that love is a lottery in which those who win, win death . . . . if I have council to give you, it is to lose always"). Each man has a suitable "lackey" (the taciturn Athos regularly scolds his servant for speaking too much, even during emergencies).
In addition to the Three Musketeers, the novel has some great characters. Although d'Artagnan is a brave and skilled fighter, he is callow, romantic, and hot tempered (don't insult his horse!), and Dumas is unafraid of unflatteringly depicting his hero, as when he has him flee an enraged Milady dressed in her maid's gown, or basically commit rape, once by circumstance and once by trickery. And Cardinal Richelieu, the true ruler of France (King Louis XIII being ungenerous, faithless, and feckless), is a great antagonist, because although he is a Machiavellian realpolitik spymaster, making people disappear and or putting them to the question without qualm, he can be a good loser appreciative of the merits of resourceful men of spirit like d'Artagnan.
Despite 17th-century Europe being a man's world, the most formidable character in the novel is Milady de Winter, who must be one of the most misogynistic or most potent female characters of 19th-century literature. Described as a monster, a serpent, a lynx, a tigress, a lioness, an enchantress, and a fury, and said at one point to be "not a woman . . . but a demon escaped from hell," Milady's mere name is enough to paralyze d'Artagnan. The most mesmerizing sequence in the novel is the several chapters/days when, after being imprisoned without weapons or allies by her brother-in-law, who has been informed in detail of her perfidy and lethality, Milady, rather than despairing ("Yet nothing's lost--I'm still beautiful"), sets about gradually seducing her puritan guard by appealing to his piety and self-repression. I found myself rooting for and against her, with mixed feelings of hatred and adoration similar to those of d'Artagnan's "strange and diabolical love" for her.
Dumas is quite good at writing description, humor, wisdom, and suspense. Here are some remarkable quotations I tried to translate from the French:
--"He sighed over this strange destiny which led men to destroy themselves and others for the interests of strangers who usually don't even know they exist."
--"Sir, don't confuse prudence with poltroonery; prudence is a virtue."
--"These are nothing but chimeras and illusions; but for a real love, for a true jealousy, is there any other reality than illusions and chimeras?"
--"'In general, one doesn't ask for advice,' he said, 'except not to follow it; for if one follows it, it's in order to have someone to reproach for having given it.'"
--"We will be taken for mad men or for heroes, two classes of imbeciles that resemble each other enough."
--"Beyond this hedge, this garden and this hut, a somber fog enveloped in its folds the immensity where Paris slept, empty, gaping, an immensity where shone some luminous points, funereal stars of this hell."
--"Milady dreamed that she had finally taken d'Artagnan, that she was attending his torture, and it was the sight of his odious blood flowing under the executioner's axe that drew a charming smile on her lips."
--"To command inferior beings was a humiliation rather than a pleasure for her."
Dumas has a bracingly dark side, so that what begins as a comedy of action and seduction ends up a disturbing tale of quasi-official, quasi-vigilante justice: "Here and there in the plain, to the right and left of the road which the lugubrious cortege followed, appeared some low and squat trees, which resembled deformed dwarfs crouching to watch the men at this sinister hour."
Fans of well-written historical adventure fiction of a romantic, psychological, and political bent with plenty of humor, suspense, and tragedy should like The Three Musketeers, but they should be prepared for some long passages of conversation.
