I en II E-text prepared by Branko Collin and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "De Drie Musketiers dl. I en II" by Alexandre Dumas is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story follows the young and ambitious d'Artagnan as he seeks to join the king's Musketeers in 17th century France, aiming to uphold his family's honor and pursue adventures. Accompanied by the iconic trio of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, the narrative explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the tensions of a politically charged era. At the start of the novel, d'Artagnan leaves his family's home with his father's advice and a few meager gifts—a horse, a letter of introduction, and a small amount of money—to seek his fortune at the king's court. Upon arriving in the small town of Meung, he quickly finds himself embroiled in a confrontation with a mysterious noble who ridicules his appearance and ignites d'Artagnan's fiery temper. As he struggles to defend his honor against not only this noble but also his allies, d'Artagnan is injured in the scuffle. The opening sets the stage for his introduction to the dangers and camaraderie of the Musketeers' world, hinting at the adventurous and tumultuous path that lies ahead for him.
