About this item
"A piece of perfect storytelling." — Robert Louis Stevenson. The ultimate tale of betrayal, revenge, and redemption, first published in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo remains one of literature's greatest adventures.
Falsely accused during the final days of Napoleon's reign, Edmond Dantès is imprisoned in the bleak Chateau d'If. After a hair-raising escape, he launches an elaborate plot to extract a bitter revenge against those who betrayed him. Amazingly based on actual events, Dumas' labyrinthine tale is popular fiction of the highest mark.
