词汇 | d’artagnan |
词源 | d’Artagnan. Memoirs attributed to Charles de Batz- Castelmore d’Artagnan (ca. 1623–73) were used by the novelist Alexander Dumas père in his fictional series beginning with The Three Musketeers. In real life Gascon d’Artagnan did serve in the king’s musketeers, but he wasn’t a comte, as he called himself, claiming the title without right. About all that can be verified about the man is that he captained the contingent that arrested the powerful French superintendent of finances Nico- las Fouquet in 1661, became a brigadier general nine years later, and was fatally wounded at the siege of Maastricht. Yet d’Artagnan will always be remembered for the heroic adven- tures Dumas and his collaborator Maquet adapted or created from his story. |
