Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Set against the turbulent years of the Napoleonic  era, Alexandre Dumas's thrilling adventure story  is one of the most widely read romantic novels of  all time. In it the dashing young hero, Edmond  Dantès, is betrayed by his enemies and thrown  into a secret dungeon in the Chateau d'If — doomed  to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story  of his long, intolerable years in captivity, his  miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought  revenge creates a dramatic tale of mystery and intrigue  and paints a vision of France — a dazzling,  dueling, exuberant France — that has become immortal.  

Synopsis:

Relates a sailor's preparation for and execution of revenge against the three men responsible for his fifteen years in prison.

Aussie Kelly, January 3, 2010 (view all comments by Aussie Kelly)
This is my all time favourite book. It's like an old friend that has everything. Set in the famous city of Paris, it has romance, revenge, murder, betrayal, mysteries and secrets, and above all else, self discovery and inevitable justice. Despite being completed in 1844, Dumas, writes an intoxicating adventure as we follow hero, Edmond Dantès life, love and tribulations. It is a classic tale of a man wronged, who seeks to find out who was responsible and claim the woman he loves. It is a nice big book to weigh down any girl's favourite handbag, or any guy's backpack, but without a doubt well worth the read (and muscle strain).
