Product Description:
A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, 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. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”

As human beings, we, for the most part believe in justice. When you strike me on one cheek, I should be allowed to strike you on the other, or at the very least sue you in court for the monetary damages your strike caused me. This sense of justice often transcends both culture and age. However, in many situations, justice does not occur. Evil men and women prosper at the expense of the good without consequence. Crimes and wrong doings go unpunished by the court of law. The question becomes should ... Read More

This book has been one of my favorites since freshman year of high school. A few years later when I found that the version I read was incomplete, I looked on Amazon and found the complete version and I am very pleased. I finally got to enjoy the uninterrupted magnificence of this complete novel. Get the complete experience now!!!

I have loved this book since I read it as an assigned book in high school. I managed to keep my Scholastic abridged version, but when it started to come apart, I searched for a replacement. I bought another copy from a local bookstore, and found that many of the important plot lines had been changed in the different abridgment (and possibly translation too).
I found this copy, purchased it, and found out how much rich detail I was missing. Both of the editions I had read prior were missing ... Read More

I friend of mine recommended this book and told me it was his favorite book of all time. He also said to make sure you get the unabridged version. (It is over 1400 pages long, but after the first 300-400 pages you will be glad it is so long.) Not only does this book have incredible insight into the human condition, it is also a very exciting tale of escape and revenge as well as a great "trip" to Europe. You will be amoung "bandits" in the ruins of Rome, high society Europe during Carnival, Parisian ... Read More

Fifteen hundred pages, what a whopper of a story, but I've read far shorter books that bored me to tears. Not this one. Sometimes I felt Dumas could have been a Russian novelist, intertwining the lives of noble families to the point where I needed a scorecard. The Count could have gone around with his rapier and pistol and gotten revenge in just a few pages but instead allows his enemies to hoist themselves on their own petards. In the end, their undoing is not just the fine planning and work of the ... Read More
