About this product

Product Information

The victim of a miscarriage of justice, Edmund Dantes is fired by a desire for retribution and empowered by a stroke of providence. In his campaign of vengeance, he becomes an anonymous agent of fate. This title includes an introduction and notes by Keith Wren, University of Kent at Canterbury. The story of Edmund Dantes, self-styled Count of Monte Cristo, is told with consummate skill. The victim of a miscarriage of justice, Dantes is fired by a desire for retribution and empowered by a stroke of providence. In his campaign of vengeance, he becomes an anonymous agent of fate. The sensational narrative of intrigue, betrayal, escape, and triumphant revenge moves at a cracking pace. Dumas' novel presents a powerful conflict between good and evil embodied in an epic saga of rich diversity that is complicated by the hero's ultimate discomfort with the hubristic implication of his own actions. AUTHOR: Alexandre Dumas, born Dumas Davy de la Pailleterie was a French writer, best known for his numerous historical novels of high adventure which have made him one of the most widely read French authors in the world. Many of his novels, including 'The Count of Monte Cristo', 'The Three Musketeers', 'Twenty Years After', and 'The Vicomte de Bragelonne' were serialised. He also wrote plays and magazine articles and was a prolific correspondent.

  • Really interesting storyline

    I hadn’t heard of this book before but I got it on a whim and I ended up really enjoying it. It’s quite long but I didn’t mind as I actually didn’t want it to end. Really good value as well.

  • Revenge is a dish best served cold.

    I'm keeping this for a summer read. I have not read the story for nearly 20 years and love the quaint French style prose. I trust that this is a accurate translation. If it isn't I shall be very disapointed.

  • A good read

    A very large, small print classic, which is deeply engrossing and full of rich detail. I would definitely recommend giving it a read and have no faults with it.
