The ultimate story of escape to riches, revenge and redemption by 'the Napoleon of storytellers'.
Falsley accused of treason, Edmond Dantes is arrested on
his wedding night and imprisoned in the grim island
fortress of Chateau d'If. After staging a dramatic escape
he sets out to discover the fabuouls treasure on the island
of Monte Cristo and uses it to exact revenge on those
responsible for his incarcaration.
The sensational narrative of intrigue, betrayal, escape and
triumphant revenge moves at a cracking pace. Dumas' novels
present a powerful conflict between good and evil embodied
in an epic saga of rich diversity that is complicated by
the hero's ultimate doscomfort with the hubristic
implications of his own actions. A novel of enormous
tension and excitement, The Count of Monte Cristo is also a
tale of obsession and revenge, with Dantes, believing
himself to be an Angel of Providence, pursuing his
vengeance to the bitter end before realising that he
himself is a victim of fate.
