最经典英语文库:三个火枪手(英文版)[TheThreeMusketeers]
内容简介
小说主要描述了法国红衣大主教黎塞留,从1624年出任首相到1628年攻打并占领胡格诺言教派的主要根据地拉罗舍尔城期间所发生的事。黎塞留为了要帮助国王路易十三,千方百计要抓住王后与英国首相白金汉公爵暧昧关系的把柄。而作品主人公出于正义,与他的好友三个火枪手为解救王后,冲破大主教设下的重重罗网,最终保全了王后的名誉。
作品虽属通俗小说,但文字相当讲究,华丽而不艰涩,风趣而不粗俗。作品从不同角度或多或少地反映了当时的社会现象,揭露了统治阶级人物之间的伪善关系,这或许也是它至今仍有生命力的一个重要原因。
大仲马不愧是大手笔,他把许多既有密切联系而又独立成章的小故事编织在一起,如白金汉和王后的爱情、阿多斯的不幸婚姻、费尔顿的受骗上当、达达安尼央和米莱狄的纠葛……使它们组合成一个完整的惊心动魄的事件。其显著特点是:开门见山,情节生动,对话有趣,而且每段都留下一个悬念,以引起读者欲罢不能的阅读兴趣。
