About
On the day of his wedding, the young sailor Edmond Dantes is falsely imprisoned in the Chateau d'If, where a dying priest reveals the location of a legendary treasure. After a daring escape and unimaginable wealth, he returns to Parisian society as the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo to unravel the lives of the men who destroyed him. Dumas weaves a vast tapestry of betrayal, patience, disguise, and the fine line between justice and vengeance. Few novels match its intricate plotting or its intoxicating sense of destiny unfolding step by inexorable step.
