Alexandre Dumas’s epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment—nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read

Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo, and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas foi um romancista e dramaturgo francês, autor dos livros Os Três Mosqueteiros e O Conde de Monte Cristo, clássicos do romance de capa e espada de grande aceitação popular.
Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie Dumas, conhecido como Alexandre Dumas, nasceu em Villers-Cotterêts, Aisne, França, no dia 24 de julho de 1802.
Em 1818, passando por dificuldades financeiras, trabalhou num cartório da cidade. Conheceu Adolphe von Leuven, nobre sueco refugiado em França. Em 1821, junto com o amigo Leuven, escreveu a peça O Major de Strasburgo.
Em 1823, foi morar em Paris. Em busca de emprego foi recebido pelo General Foy, amigo de seu pai, que ao ver a sua bela caligrafia concluiu que Dumas poderia secretariar o Duque de Orléans, futuro rei Luís Filipe. O emprego garantiu-lhe o sustento e abriu-lhe o caminho para a Comédie Française.
