"The Count of Monte Cristo", one of the most popular novels by Alexandre Dumas, is a resounding success with readers. The author took the plot from the archives of the Parisian police.

A voluminous novel that does not let go until the last page, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a classic that is truly reread. A fantastic life story of the Marseille sailor Edmond Dantes, who was destined for severe trials. Unjust imprisonment in a terrible prison, treasures, revenge and losses, restoration of justice, courage and dignity - in one of the most famous books by Dumas, repeatedly filmed by cinematographers in different countries. A piercing work about what drives people at all times - about love and revenge.
