For years I honestly thought it was a stand alone within the same universe, years apart from The Three Musketeers, that's what I get for not reading the book blurb 🤣 thanks @SerialReader for this one!
Here are older heroes, showcased in their ages with wisdom, loyalty, and friendship, grounded in that very realism as I heard their weariness as well as their bodies failing them here and there throughout some fight scenes.

Clwojick Great match! This one has been on my list for ages. Hopefully I‘ll get to it at some point this year. 2y
mariaku21 @Clwojick that was me too! So I finally did and Porto is still my favorite musketeer. 2y

Pain, anguish, and suffering in human life are always in proportion to the strength with which a man is endowed.

Not the book is originally planned to use for #mask, but it‘s what I could get my hands on this late at night. Alexandre Dumas is one of my favorite authors. ❤️ I have about 3/4 of a bookshelf devoted just to his work.

Terminer de lire le dernier opus de Dumas mettant en scène les personnages incroyables que sont les 3 (bon 4) mousquetaires. De l'histoire (romancée un brin), de l'action et des stratégies à profusion, mais surtour, des personnages plus grands que nature.

Des personnages comme ça, il ne s'en fait plus!

1. Tagged book and I hope to start Sittenfeld‘s newest and finish Heartburn on audio.
2. See above and there is a job I want to apply for online.
3. My late mother in law‘s potato salad. She told me how to make it, but it never tastes as good as hers. I‘d tease her that I thought she spit in it to give it that special something! 🤣🤣

I just ordered these beautiful word cloud classics by Canterbury to put on my new bookshelf. I so wish they had TMITIM to go with them! I haven't read TTM yet but I'm sure I'll love it.

mrsthilkey @Amanda.T Have you read it before?! It's so good! 8y
Amanda.T No, not yet! I've been meaning to forever, so when I saw this edition I had to pick it up. 8y

"D'Artagnan had time to reflect that women - those gentle doves - treat one another more cruelly than bears and tigers."

•Geez, don't hold back.. Dumas. Interesting observation that hasn't changed over the years. ?I think tigers and bears are probably in a better place with each other than some women I know... ??

A man is held to be criminal, sometimes, by the great ones of the earth, not because he has committed a crime himself but because he knows of one which has been committed.

Does the open wound in another's breast soften the pain of the gaping wound in our own? Or does the blood which is welling from another man's side staunch that which is pouring from our own? Does the general anguish of our fellow creatures lessen our own private and particular anguish? No, no, each suffers on his own account, each struggles with his own grief, each sheds his own tears.

This can be a standalone, but it's actually the last of a cycle starting with "The Three Musketeers". I read this one first when a kid & loved it. Re-read it for college required-reading & still loved it! Philippe is imprisoned in the Bastille w/ an iron mask over his face. He & Louis XIV have things in common. Fun, riotous, daring, classic, amazing! An important read! #PairWith: Joseph Drouhin, AC Côte de Beaune Villages, Burgundy, room temp.

57thStreetBooks If you haven't read it yet, check out The Black Count by Tom Reiss. It's the biography of Dumas' father and it becomes quickly apparent that many of these novels were heavily inspired by his life! 8y
Chelsey Love this story! 8y
MrBook @57thStreetBooks That one has been on my TBR for awhile now! Thank you for reminding me 😎👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻! I'll be moving it up a couple...hundred positions 😂👏🏻. @Chelsey Yesss! 😁👏🏻🙌🏻! 8y

Delphine Good taste in French classic literature (even though I haven't read this one yet) and good taste in wine (which I actually had a taste and loved it. And yes, definitely room temp for this type of wine) 🤓 8y
