Publisher's Summary: Alexandre Dumas considered life's essentials "l'action et l'amour," and they are brilliantly combined in this story of Athos, Porthos, Aramis and their friend d'Artagnan, the continuing adventures of the Three Musketeers.Almost single-handedly responsible for the popular image of 17th-century French swashbucklers, Dumas based this novel on the historical legend of "Philippe," a youthful prisoner who languished in the dank, dismal depths of the Bastille for eight long years. Aramis, with characteristic derring-do, has bribed his way into Philippe's cell to reveal a shocking secret unknown even to the boy himself - a closely guarded truth that could topple Louis XIV, king of France. As he swirls his way through a death-defying jailbreak, a brilliant masquerade and a terrifying fight for the throne, Aramis faces the most appalling threat of all: the possibility that he must break his sacred vow of "All for one, and one for all." As the final episode in the saga of the Three Musketeers thunders to a close, with musketeer pitted against musketeer, either honor or disgrace awaits the finest sword fighters in France...along with a horrifying punishment for the loser. |
