The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Description

While in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Edmond Dantes learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo. A daring escape is followed by the unearthing of the treasure and the implementation of a long-dwelled upon plan to use it to systematically destroy the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, which was inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, has been immensely popular since it’s original release in the 1840s and is a welcome addition to the new “shining a light on the classics” series from Shine-A-Light Press.
