| comte monte cristo: The Count of Monte Cristo - Vol II. (in Five Volumes) Alexandre Dumas, 2015-06-11 This vintage book contains the second volume of Alexandre Dumas's famous adventure novel, The Count of Monte Cristo. Set in early nineteenth century France during the time of the Bourbon Restoration, it tells the story of a man's wrongful imprisonment, his escape, and his indefatigable quest for revenge. A masterful tale of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, The Count of Monte Cristo is rightfully one the most famous novels of all time, and deserves a place on every bookshelf. Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including The Three Musketeers and Chicot the Jester. Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. |

| comte monte cristo: The Count of Monte Cristo Alexander Dumas, 2019-06-28 The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel by French author Alexandre Dumas.

The story takes place in France, Italy and islands in the Mediterranean during the historical events of 1815–1838.

The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. 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.

In addition, it is a story that involves romance, loyalty, betrayal and selfishness, shown throughout the story as characters slowly reveal their true inner nature. 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. |

| comte monte cristo: The Last Cavalier Alexandre Dumas, 2008-10-07 Selected as a Top Ten Book of the Year by The Washington Post: the newly discovered last novel by the author of The Three Musketeers. Rousing, big, spirited, its action sweeping across oceans and continents, its hero gloriously indomitable, the last novel of Alexandre Dumas—lost for 125 years in the archives of the National Library in Paris—completes the oeuvre that Dumas imagined at the outset of his literary career. Indeed, the story of France from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, as Dumas vibrantly retold it in his numerous enormously popular novels, has long been absent one vital, richly historical era: the Age of Napoleon. But no longer. Now, dynamically, in a tale of family honor and undying vengeance, of high adventure and heroic derring-do, The Last Cavalier fills that gap. |

| comte monte cristo: The Baron of Magister Valley Steven Brust, 2020-07-28 From the vaults of Dragaeran history and the mind of master fantasist Steven Brust--a tale of betrayal and vengeance that is not at all a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo Reader, you will undoubtedly have had the misfortune of consuming the rotten fruit of fallacies that we—Paarfi of Roundwood (esteemed historian of House of Hawk and exquisite artisan of truths)—“borrow” our factual recount of Dragaeran history from some obscure fellow who goes by the name Al Dumas or some silly nomenclature of that nature. The salacious claims that The Baron of Magister Valley bears any resemblance to a certain nearly fictional narrative about an infamous count are unfounded (we do not dabble in tall tales. The occasional moderately stretched? Yes. But never tall). Our tale is that of a nobleman who is betrayed by those he trusted, and subsequently imprisoned. After centuries of confinement, he contrives to escape and prepares to avenge himself against his betrayers. A mirror image of The Count of Monte Cristo, vitrolic naysayers still grouse? Well, that is nearly and utterly false. Also by Paarfi of Roundwood: The Khaavren Romances 1. The Phoenix Guards 2. Five Hundred Years After 3. The Paths of the Dead (The Viscount of Adrilankha I) 4.

| comte monte cristo: The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas, 2009-06-02 This beloved novel tells the story of Edmond Dantès, wrongfully imprisoned for life in the supposedly impregnable sea fortress, the Château d’If. After a daring escape, and after unearthing a hidden treasure revealed to him by a fellow prisoner, he devotes the rest of his life to tracking down and punishing the enemies who wronged him. Though a brilliant storyteller, Dumas was given to repetitions and redundancies; this slightly streamlined version of the original 1846 English translation speeds the narrative flow while retaining most of the rich pictorial descriptions and all the essential details of Dumas’s intricately plotted and thrilling masterpiece. Alexandre Dumas’s epic novel of justice, retribution, and self-discovery—one of the most enduringly popular adventure tales ever written—in a newly revised translation. |
| comte monte cristo: The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas, 2025-03-18 The final volume of The Count of Monte Cristo brings Edmond Dantès' extraordinary journey to its ultimate climax. With years of careful planning behind him, the Count must now face the consequences of his vengeance. The fates of his enemies are sealed, yet as he watches their downfall, questions arise-has he truly found justice, or has he merely become the instrument of destruction? As deception unravels and destinies intertwine, love and loss shape the Count's final choices. Will he abandon his relentless quest for revenge in pursuit of redemption, or will he allow his thirst for retribution to consume him completely? With heart-stopping confrontations, daring escapes, and emotional reckonings, Dumas masterfully brings this epic saga to a profound and unforgettable resolution. A story of passion, revenge, and the human spirit, The Count of Monte Cristo, Volume 5 delivers a thrilling finale, proving that even the darkest of tales can hold the possibility of hope. |
