El Conde De Montecristo Col. Oro
“The Count of Monte Cristo” is one of the most famous adventure novels of all time. Written by French author Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) and published in 1844. “The Count of Monte Cristo” was a commercial success at the time of its publication, thanks in part to the reception of another recent novel by Dumas, “The Three Musketeers” (1844). The novel narrates the life of Edmond Dantès from when he was unjustly imprisoned in the Château d'If on a false charge of treason, until he returns years later, transformed into the Count of Monte Cristo, to exact his revenge on those who destroyed his life. The story deals with themes such as the pursuit of justice, aristocratic blindness, ambition, honor, the changes of a tumultuous era in French history, the nature of hatred, and the burden of evil on the human soul. It is a window into a murky moment of social and political manipulations, courtly intrigue, and a fascination with the exotic and the unknown, and an immortal example of what a man would be willing to do to rebuild his life.
