The Count of Monte Cristo

Betrayed, imprisoned, and left for dead—yet destiny transforms him into a legend. The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas, is one of the greatest adventure novels ever written, a timeless story of vengeance, love, and justice.

The novel follows Edmond Dantès, a young sailor whose promising future is destroyed when he is falsely accused and cast into a dungeon. After years of suffering, he escapes and discovers a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Reborn as the mysterious and powerful Count, Dantès uses his newfound wealth and cunning to orchestrate an elaborate plan of retribution against those who wronged him.

More than a tale of revenge, this epic explores themes of hope, betrayal, mercy, and the price of obsession. Dumas weaves a rich tapestry of adventure, intrigue, romance, and moral struggle that has captivated readers for nearly two centuries.

Celebrated as one of the greatest novels of all time, The Count of Monte Cristo continues to inspire adaptations in film, television, and theater around the world.
