Literature: How Many Musketeers in Alexandre Dumas' Novel?

⚔️ Following the release of the new film "The Three Musketeers: d'Artagnan", and the anniversary of the death of the real d'Artagnan on June 25, 1673, here is an episode on the world-famous novel by Alexandre Dumas. But before we start, why did Dumas call it "Les trois Mousquetaires"? Aren't they four? Well, it seems that Dumas thought this confusion would benefit the sales of his book. I guess we can't deny that it worked out pretty well. (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar).
