About the Book
First published in serial form in the 1840s, The Count of Monte Cristo remains one of the most beloved adventure novels ever written. The story begins in post-Napoleonic France, where young sailor Edmond Dantès is on the cusp of becoming captain of his own ship and marrying his beloved Mercédès. Jealous rivals conspire against him, and Dantès is falsely accused of treason, condemned without trial, and thrown into the notorious Château d'If. There, during fourteen long years of imprisonment, he befriends a fellow prisoner who reveals the location of a vast hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. After a daring and ingenious escape, Dantès retrieves the fortune and transforms himself into the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo, using his new wealth and identity to methodically pursue justice against the men who destroyed his life. Rich with intrigue, romance, philosophy and suspense, the novel explores enduring themes of hope, vengeance, mercy and forgiveness as it follows Dantès through the salons of Paris and beyond.
