The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas is the ultimate novel of retribution. This abridged edition features an afterword by Marcus Clapham. Based on true events, the book recounts the story of Edouard Dantes, his betrayal and imprisonment in the sinister Chateau d'If. Years later, Paris is intrigued by the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, who bursts onto the Paris social scene with his millions. He encounters the three principal betrayers of Dantes who have prospered in the post-Napoleonic boom and, one by one, their lives fall apart. The book was a huge success when it was first serialized in 1844, and remains the greatest tale of revenge.Languages:EnglishPublisher:MacMillan Collector's LibraryISBN-13:9781509827978ISBN-10:1509827978UPC:9781509827978Book Category:FictionBook Subcategory:ClassicsSize:6.00 x 3.90 x 1.30 inchesWeight:0.7915Product ID:SCV52W7D5B
Alexandre Dumas was born in 1802. After a childhood of extreme poverty, he took work as a clerk, and met the renowned actor Talma, and began to write short pieces for the theatre. After twenty years of success as a playwright, Dumas turned his hand to novel-writing, and penned such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), La Reine Margot (1845) and The Black Tulip (1850). After enduring a short period of bankruptcy, Dumas began to travel extensively, still keeping up a prodigious output of journalism, short fiction and novels. He fathered an illegitimate child, also called Alexandre, who would grow up to write La Dame aux Cam?lias. He died in Dieppe in 1870.
