{"product_id":"the-three-musketeers","title":"The Three Musketeers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Three Musketeers is a novel by Alexandre Dumas. Set in the 17th century  it recounts the adventures of a young man named dArtagnan after he leaves home to travel to Paris  to join the Musketeers of the Guard. DArtagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those being his friends Athos  Porthos and Aramis  inseparable friends who live by the motto \"all for one  one for all\"  a motto which is first put forth by dArtagnan. In genre  The Three Musketeers is primarily a historical novel and adventure. However Dumas also frequently works into the plot various injustices  abuses and absurdities of the ancien regime  giving the novel an additional political aspect at a time when the debate in France between republicans and monarchists was still fierce. The story was first serialized from March to July 1844  during the July monarchy  four years before the French Revolution of 1848 violently established the second Republic. The authors father  Thomas-Alexandre Dumas had been a well-known general in Frances Republican army during the French revolutionary wars. Although adaptations tend to portray dArtagnan and the three musketeers as heroes  the novel portrays less appealing characters  who are willing to commit violence over slight insults and through unquestioning loyalty to the king and queen  and treat their servants and supposed social inferiors with contempt and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946802507829,"sku":"ByrdShop_1505234727","price":35.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781505234725.jpg?v=1770576796","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-three-musketeers","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
