About the Book
One of the grandest tales of adventure, Alexandre Dumas’s epic novel of revenge, perseverance, lost love, and self-invention—now a PBS Masterpiece miniseries starring Sam Claflin and Jeremy Irons
“My desert island book . . . No matter how many times I revisit it, I find new lines to appreciate, new narrative corners to explore.”—V. E. Schwab, The New York Times Book Review
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of the Château d’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 use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration.
