About this title

Synopsis

Introduction by Lorenzo Carcaterra &; Nominated as one of America&;s best-loved novels by PBS&;s The Great American Read

A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas&;s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, &;I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.&;
