The Count of Monte Cristo
of Alexandre Dumas, Robin Buss (Translator)
Description
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumasâ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.Robin Bussâs lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumasâs original. This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.
