D'Artagnan, der arme Sohn eines Landadeligen aus der Gascogne will sein Glück als Musketier in der Garde des Herrn von Treville - also der Leibgarde des Königs Ludwig XIII.

But before I'll go into details, let me rather briefely recapitulate the story (in german.):Wir schreiben das Jahr 1625. And one thing about the book is, it's language is remarkable and so different compared to today's german. It's an almost 100 years old german translation (of course in old german typesetting). But, I had the chance to get a rather old copy. We all have seen so many movies and remakes of movies, and the musketeers have become a cliché even long ago.

I've read this masterpiece of Alexandre Dumas for the very first time. For sure you will think 'hey, why is he reading that old children's book again?', but no, you're wrong.
