Few novelists have been such master storytellers as was Alexandre Dumas. This great tale of love, imprisonment, revenge and political intrigue has captivated readers from the first moment it was published. French society, history, landscapes and characters are all brought alive so memorably.

The Count of Monte Cristo, with good reason, is one of the best-selling novels of all time.
