The Count of Monte Cristo

A brilliant story of intrigue, retribution, revenge and redemption.

Imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Edmond Dantès spends fourteen bitter years in a dungeon. When his daring escape plan works, he uses all he has learnt during his incarceration to mastermind an elaborate plan of revenge that will bring punishment to those he holds responsible for his fate. No longer the naïve sailor who disappeared into the dark fortress all those years ago, he reinvents himself as the charming, mysterious and powerful Count of Monte Cristo...

'Dumas is a master of ripping yarns full of fearless heroes, poisonous ladies and swashbuckling adventurers’ Guardian

Reviews

  • The greatest of escape stories

    Guardian

  • What makes The Count Of Monte Cristo such a superior story is that revenge is not the only emotion driving the plot... it is an almost perfect story - also in the mix are love, friendship, jealousy, faith, education, snobbery and class

    Sunday Express

  • The Count of Monte Cristo sustained my sanity and my life. It is a beautiful book. Incarceration coupled with interrogation can play cruel tricks on the mind and many are driven to suicide.The book taught me to hope when I was living at my mental limits

  • One of the most romantic of all novels

    Mail on Sunday

  • The Napoleon of story-tellers
