ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. THE COUNT OF MONTE-CRISTO by Alexandre Dumas. This newly revised, unabridged translation is as unputdownable now as it was when the novel first appeared, and William Thackeray, enthralled, 'began to read Monte Cristo at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night'. A classic mystery appropriately set in an English country home with all the gothic trimmings. One of the great thrillers of all time, The Count of Monte Cristo has been adapted for film and television many times. Believing himself to be an 'Angel ofProvidence', Dants pursues his vengeance to the bitter end, only then realizing that he himself is a victim of fate. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, The Count of Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge. Having endured years of incarceration, he stages a daring and dramatic escape and sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo, and to catch up with his enemies. 'people get out of prison, and when they get out, and their name is Edmond Dantes, they take their revenge!'Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dants is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Chteau d'If.
