The Count of Monte Cristo

The Count of Monte Cristo

Set against the turbulent years of the Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumasâ€™s thrilling adventure story is one of the most widely read romantic novels of all time. In it the dashing young hero, Edmond DantÃ¨s, is betrayed by his enemies and thrown into a secret dungeon in the Chateau dâ€™If â€” doomed to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story of his long, intolerable years in captivity, his miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought revenge creates a dramatic tale of mystery and intrigue and paints a vision of France â€” a dazzling, dueling, exuberant France â€” that has become immortal.

Began to read â€˜Monte Cristoâ€™ at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night. â€”William Makepeace Thackeray
The most popular man of the century... More than French... European; more than European... universal. â€”Victor Hugo
No novelist since Dumas has been more irreverent of the conventions of well-made fiction or any more determined to tell stories without identifiable centers. â€”Terrence Rafferty
