The Count of Monte Cristo

Alexandre Dumas's sweeping tale of betrayal and revenge is one of the most thrilling adventure novels ever written. Edmond Dantès, a young sailor on the verge of marriage and a promising career, is falsely accused of treason by jealous rivals and imprisoned in the grim island fortress of Château d'If. After years of suffering, he escapes, discovers a hidden fortune, and reinvents himself as the mysterious and fabulously wealthy Count of Monte Cristo—returning to French society to exact a meticulous, devastating revenge on those who destroyed his life. A masterpiece of suspense, justice, and the corrosive power of vengeance. A Raven's Gate Classics edition with striking new cover art.
