The Count of Monte Cristo

The plot of "The Count of Monte Cristo" was extracted by Alexandre Dumas from the archives of Paris police. As a result, under the pen of the brilliant master of historical adventure genre the true life of Francois Picot turned into a fascinating story of Edmond Dantes, a prisoner of the Chateau d'If. After a brave escape from the Chateau, he returns to his hometown to do justice – that is to payback to those who destroyed his life earlier.
A thick novel that do not let a reader go until the last page, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a classic novel that is really worth re-reading.
