The
Count of Monte Cristo – Alexandre Dumas
Thrown in prison for a crime he
has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of If. There
he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and
he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and
use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his
incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a
real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was
first serialised in the 1840s.
