Description
Edmond Dantes is imprisoned in the grim fortress of If, wrongly accused of a crime he did not commit. As he languishes in his cell, he learns of a vast treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo, and his determination to escape and claim the treasure grows. But Dantes' ultimate goal is not just to escape, but to use the treasure to exact revenge on the three men responsible for his incarceration. This epic tale of suffering and retribution is based on a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, and its themes of justice and redemption continue to appeal to readers to this day. Robin Buss's lively English translation of Dumas' original work is complete and unabridged, making this edition a faithful and authoritative version of the classic novel. The book includes an introduction, explanatory notes, and suggestions for further reading, providing readers with a rich and nuanced understanding of the story. Published by Penguin Classics, a leading publisher of classic literature, this edition represents a significant contribution to the global bookshelf of the best works throughout history.
