A new edition of the classic by one of the prodigies of 19th century French literature.
Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, 'The Count Of Monte Christo' recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantes, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal.
