The Three Musketeers (EN)
Audiokniha The Three Musketeers obsahuje nejznámější dílo, jehož autorem je Alexandre Dumas, mluvené v angličtině rodilým mluvčím. Slavný historický román o touze po dobrodružství, cti a síle přátelství. Děj je zasazen do 17. století období obléhání francouzského La Rochelle. Mladý D´Artagnan je sice chudý mladík, ale ze všeho nejvíc touží stát se váženým mušketýrem. Svou ztřeštěností si však spíše cestu mezi mušketýry zavírá, když se nepohodne hned s třemi nejlepšími - Athosem, Porthosem a Aramisem. Tito se však brzy v rámci souboje dostanou na jednu stranu a svorně od té chvíle razí heslo: Jeden za všechny, všichni za jednoho. Díky této zásadě pak čtveřice neohrožených mušketýrů rozplétá intriky kardinála Richelieu, který chce za každou cenu sesadit z trůnu královnu Annu.
