About This Novel
This book is a classic work by the French writer Alexandre Dumas, the most widely circulated work by Alexandre Dumas. It tells a wonderful story about justice and revenge, hope and life during the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty and the July Monarchy in France. In Marseille in 1815, the young sailor Edmond Dantès was about to be promoted to the captain of the "Pharaoh" and get married to his beautiful fiancée. However, he was suddenly framed by others and imprisoned in a lonely secret prison for trumped-up charges of treason. During this period, the learned prisoner Father Faria imparted various knowledge to him, and before his death, he told him the secret hidden on the Island of Monte Cristo. More than ten years later, Dantès miraculously escaped from prison, found the treasure and became a millionaire. He transformed into the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, appeared in Paris's upper class disguised as different identities, and began to implement an earth-shattering plan of repayment and revenge. This novel caused a sensation when it was serialized in the 1840s, and was inspired by a real injustice. Alexandre Dumas used this as a blueprint and referred to a large amount of real history to compose an adventure epic full of intrigue, passion and suspense.
