The Count of Monte Cristo

Edmond Dantès is seething.

Locked up for a crime that he did not commit, he’s been brewing an escape plan for the past 14 years. And when it painlessly comes to fruition, Edmond is ready and waiting for the next stage in his revenge. He’s going to bring down all those responsible for his fate.

But to do so, Edmond must hoodwink all those who ripped his rights from his hands many years ago. He reinvents himself as the charming and powerful Count of Monte Cristo…

Weaving a whirlwind adventure tale of justice, mercy, and might, Dumas’ rip-roaring tale of retribution, redemption, and revenge is a must-read masterpiece for fans of Hugh Jackman’s ‘Les Misérables’ and Morgan Freeman’s ‘The Shawshank Redemption’.

Alexandre Dumas (1802- 1879) was a widely celebrated French author, member of the Académie Française and recipient of the Legion of Honour. Celebrated for his rip-roaring adventure novel ‘The Three Musketeers’, his literary output includes ‘The Count of Monte Cristo', 'Twenty Years After', and 'The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later'.
