When a promising young sailor is falsely accused of treason, his transformation from innocent victim to calculating avenger begins. In Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo," Edmond Dantès emerges from brutal imprisonment as the mysterious and wealthy Count. He weaves an intricate web of vengeance against those who destroyed his life. Yet as his masterful retribution unfolds, the true cost of revenge becomes increasingly clear.
This sweeping epic of betrayal, love, and justice remains one of literature's greatest tales of transformation and redemption.
