Francia, abril de 1625. En la polvorienta villa de Meung se cruzan los destinos de un joven gascón, una hermosa mujer y un misterioso hidalgo. Comienza así una de las mayores aventuras jamás escritas. Una carta de recomendación extraviada es la responsable de que el impulsivo D#Artagnan se adentre, sin saberlo, en un mundo de intrigas palaciegas, luchas intestinas, traiciones, celos, capas y espadas en el que perseguirá su sueño de gloria. Roger Nimier, uno de los más eminentes intelectuales del siglo XX francés, firma la introducción que abre el presente volumen. La sigue este clásico insoslayable del feuilleton en la espléndida y canónica traducción que realizara en su día Torcuato Tasso Serra, vigente aún hoy como una de las más palpitantes versiones en lengua castellana.
