'The Count of Monte Cristo,' one of Alexandre Dumas's most popular novels, is a resounding success. The author drew its plot from the archives of the Parisian police. The true life of shoemaker François Picot, the inspiration for Edmond Dantès, was transformed by the pen of a true artist into a gripping book about a martyr of the Château d'If and a Parisian angel of vengeance.

A thick novel that grips you until the last page, 'The Count of Monte Cristo' is a classic that truly deserves to be reread.

A fantastical story about the life of Marseille sailor Edmond Dantès, destined for difficult trials. Unjust imprisonment in a terrible prison, treasure, revenge and loss, the restoration of justice, courage and dignity – in one of Dumas's most famous books, repeatedly adapted for the screen in cinemas around the world.

A poignant work about what drives people at all times – about love and revenge.
