Dumas, Alexandre

Presents the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas about Edmond Dantes, a young sailor who is falsely imprisoned, escapes, and assumes a new identity on the island of Monte Cristo.

After escaping from the island where he has been in prison, Dantes plots his revenge on the people responsible for his imprisonment.

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.

Nineteen-year-old French sailor Edmond Dantes is unjustly imprisoned on his planned wedding day, and--after fourteen years of solitary confinement--a daring escape, hidden riches on the island of Monte Cristo, and a new identity bring him closer to a reunion with his love, Mercedes, and revenge upon his accusers.
