This is the story of Edmond Dantes, his betrayal, his incarceration in the fortress-prison of If, his search for Abbe Faria's hidden treasure, and his reappearance, now fabulously rich, as the brooding, Byronic and vengeful Count of Monte Cristo.
Dumas set his magnificent novel in nineteenth century metropolitan Paris with interludes in Marseilles and Rome. In it he gave free rein to the sensational - hashish-smoking, vampirism and sex - and to his interest in travel, classical myth, the orient, human psychology and disguises.
'The Count Of Monte Cristo' is one of the great popular novels of all time, and a landmark in the development of modern popular fiction.
