Publisher Marketing: A Tale of Betrayal, Revenge, and Redemption

The Count of Monte Cristo is a timeless classic that follows the riveting journey of Edmond Dantès, a young sailor whose life is upended by a false accusation. Imprisoned for fourteen long years, Dantès uncovers the secret of a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo from a fellow prisoner. With vengeance burning in his heart, he escapes, assumes a new identity, and embarks on a quest to right the wrongs done to him and bring justice to those who betrayed him.

Alexandre Dumas's sweeping narrative is filled with intrigue, drama, and transformation, making it one of the greatest tales of all time. Will Dantès reclaim his life--or lose himself in the pursuit of revenge?
