The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure
novel by French author Alexandre Dumas (père). It is one of the author's most
popular works, along with The Three Musketeers. Dumas completed the work in
1844. The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean,
and in the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838. It is an
adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance,
mercy and forgiveness, it focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned,
escapes from jail, acquires a fortune and sets about getting revenge on those
responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have devastating
consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty. The book is considered a
literary classic today. According to Luc Sante, "The Count of Monte Cristo has
become a fixture of Western civilization's literature, as inescapable and
immediately identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noah's flood, and the story of
Little Red Riding Hood."
This English translation was originally published in 1846 by Chapman and Hall,
London.
