The detailed proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem for regular primes can be found in a very well-written article by Keith Conrad: https://kconrad.math.uconn.edu/blurbs....

...And another good source: http://www.math.columbia.edu/~ila/Kum....

The original approach by Lamé (which outlines an overall erroneous proof but nevertheless provides the valuable decomposition of the left side of the Fermat’s equation; in French): https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt....
