Трилогия о мушкетерах Александра Дюма была и остается эталоном приключенческого жанра, который не только пробуждает в детстве интерес к истории и историческим романам, но и знакомит с понятиями "настоящая дружба", "честь" и "бесстрашие", оставляя впечатление на всю жизнь. Действие романа разворачивается через двадцать лет после событий «Трех мушкетеров». Дерзкий и смелый девиз «Один за всех и все за одного» гораздо легче срывается с уст энергичной и бесшабашной молодости. А потом даже самые неутомимые герои стареют, беднеют и теряют запал.
