A novel about injustice, escape, and carefully planned revenge. The story centers on Edmond Dantès, a sailor slandered and deprived of everything. One of Alexandre Dumas's most famous works, "The Count of Monte Cristo," a bestseller in its time and such a success that its author was able to lead a life as illustrious as its hero, is inspired by true events.
Fate smiles on the young sailor Edmond Dantès: he is preparing to take over as captain of the merchant ship Pharaon and is about to marry the beautiful Mercedes. But not everyone is happy about his happiness. A conspiracy is hatched against Dantès, and on false charges, the young man is sent to prison—to the gloomy Château d'If, from which no one has ever returned... The first volume includes the first and second parts of the novel.
The mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, known only for his immense wealth, appears in Paris and buys the house where a terrible crime nearly occurred many years ago. But the criminals themselves have no idea that the murder was prevented. The time has come to lift the veil of secrecy and give their enemies their just deserts. And so the Count sends out dinner invitations... Volume two includes the third and fourth parts of the novel.
In Volume three, the Count of Monte Cristo, skillfully changing masks, continues to carry out his sophisticated plan for revenge. Some are destroyed by greed, others by betrayal exposed to public scrutiny, and still others by the ghosts of the past. But in the struggle for justice, the innocent must be protected at any cost—and not destroy one's own soul. Volume three includes the fifth and sixth parts of the novel.
This edition is perfect for those who want to read the novel in its entirety, without abridgements, in a classic translation—with lively language and a full immersion into the story that influenced the entire genre of adventure literature.
