The story of Edmund Dantes，self-styled Count of Monte Cristo。 The novel presents a powerful conflict between good and evil， embodied in an epic saga that is complicated by the hero’s discomfort with the implications of his own actions。
Synopsis:
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great literary adventures， indeed William Thackeray was so enthralled he began reading `at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night’。
The hero is Edmond Dantes， a young sailor who，falsely accused of treason， is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of Chateau d’If。 After staging a dramatic escape he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies。 A novel of enormous tension and excitement， Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge， with Dantés， believing himself to be an `Angel of Providence’，pursuing his vengeance to the bitter end before realizing that he himself is a victim of fate。
This new edition uses the classic，anonymous translation that has been in print since the nineteenth century。
