Description
Book Synopsis
Wrongfully imprisoned for 13 years, Edmond Dantès escapes and reinvents himself as the mysterious and wealthy Count of Monte Cristo. He returns to 19th-century Marseilles with a plan for revenge against the three men who conspired to put him in jail-Mondego, Danglars, and Villefort.
As the count insinuates himself into the French nobility, no one suspects his true identity or the secret manipulations he undertakes to ruin his enemies. One by one, he enacts his clever vengeance, leading his victims to financial, familial, and personal destruction. But the count's quest for justice comes at a high cost, leading even those dear to him to question whether the man they once knew still exists inside the persona he has created.
Alexandre Dumas' grand historical adventure explores the timeless themes of injustice, betrayal, and an intricate web of consequences stemming from every action. Propelled by revenge and an unquenchable thirst for redemption, The Count of Monte Cristo remains one of literature's most riveting tales of comeuppance.
