D’Artagnan, Hors la loi

He's a petty master who only subjugates reality. The real temptation is to want much more: self-esteem, the gratuitous gesture, the quest for the impossible, to defy the law, to kill the legislator, in short, to be sublime. And so, D'Artagnan disembarks from his province, provokes three musketeers, falls in love, takes on a host of guards in mind-boggling battles, crosses the English Channel twice and clashes head-on with the Cardinal. It's a breathless epic - don't doubt it - a no-holds-barred narrative - because we're telling you - but also a glove thrown down to the spirit of seriousness, bourgeois materialism and all mediocrity, all in ringing and stumbling alexandrines - keep the change!
