Три мушкетера (Коллекционное издание)

For many generations of readers, the novel by Alexandre Dumas père The Three Musketeers, which was published in 1844, has become a hallmark of Paris. After reading the novel, everyone felt like a "little Parisian" - the places of the medieval French capital where the adventures of his characters took place were so picturesquely and accurately described: the street of the Old Dovecote, the Royal Square, the Louvre, the Bastille ... First illustrated with paintings, drawings, engravings by European artists of the 17th century - contemporaries of the literary heroes of Dumas, this book becomes a kind of guide to that era. History painting, illustrations from the French editions of The Three Musketeers of 1854, 1884 and 1894 help to recreate the atmosphere of the reign of Louis XIII. Among the most valuable evidence of that era are the engravings of Abraham Boss and other masters. All illustrations depicting authentic historical figures and views of Paris in the 17th century are provided with captions.
