Genre: Historical Fiction
Title: The Count of Monte Cristo
Author: Alexandre Dumas
Synopsis: n Alexandre Dumas's The Count of Monte Cristo, handsome Edmond Dantès escapes from Chateau d'If after being imprisoned for 14 years. With knowledge he gained in prison, he locates an immense treasure, recreates himself as a count, and vows to reward those who were kind to him and to punish the enemies who conspired to imprison him. Alexandre Dumas spins a rollicking tale of adventure, wit, revenge, and hope.
Why do you recommend this book? This is by far my most favourite novel of all time. Beautiful written by Dumas without the heavy and overloaded descriptions of Dickens and Shelley or long and drawn out explanations of Doyle. (not to discount these authors, ahhaa) Filled with drama that will keep you compelled to read page by page.
Is this a book, manga, or graphic novel? Book
