On the day of his wedding, Edmond Dantes, master mariner, is
arrested in Marseille on trumped-up charges and spirited away to
the cellars of the Chateau d'If, an impregnable sea fortress in
which he is imprisoned indefinitely. Escaping from the chateau by a
series of daring manoeuvres, he unearths a great treasure on the
island of Monte Cristo, buried there by a former fellow prisoner
who bequeaths to him the secret of its whereabouts. Thus armed with
unimaginable wealth and embittered by his long imprisonment, he
resolves to devote his life to tracking down and punishing those
responsible. This classic nineteenth-century translation has been
revised and updated by Peter Washington, with an introduction by
award-winning novelist Umberto Eco.
