Book summary

In Marseille in 1815, the young sailor Edmond Dantès is arrested on the day of his engagement, on a false accusation. Locked up without trial in the Château d'If, he meets the Abbé Faria, an old prisoner who educates him and reveals the existence of a hidden treasure. Years later, a rich and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo appears in Paris, among the very people who betrayed him.

It is the most famous revenge story in literature, full of disguises and dramatic twists.

With its lively dialogue and a new turn in every chapter, the novel is a gripping read in the language you are learning.
