Alexandre Dumas 
The Three Musketeers 

In The Three Musketeers, a young man, D’Artagnan, travels to Paris with a letter of introduction in the hopes of joining the famed Musketeers of the French Guard. En route, he joins up with the titular musketeers, Aramis, Athos and Porthos, and quickly becomes embroiled in a swordfight with the agents of the sinister Cardinal Richelieu. As D’Artagnan continues his campaign to join the musketeers, he forms a strong bond with his new friends. Throughout the swashbuckling romance that follows, all four live by the motto All for one, and one for all! Translated by William Robson.
