The epic tale of wrongful imprisonment, adventure and revenge, in its definitive translation
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès 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 use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas' epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.

“It is no exaggeration to say “Monte Cristo” still ranks as one of the most exciting stories imaginable, one every bit as good as anything Steven Spielberg or J.K. Rowling could ever conjure up. Edmond Dantes, a young sailor on the cusp of being named captain of a cargo ship and preparing to marry his sweetheart, becomes the victim of a plot by envious rivals” CS Monitor
“Page-turners like this one never age . . . you always want to find out what happens next.” Neil Smith
“But honestly, this is the rare classic that’s hard to put down. If it’s on your “someday” list, I would definitely give it a try.” The Book Stop
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is one of the most exciting adventures of all time. Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is Dumas’s swashbuckling epic masterpiece which will stay with you forever.
Alexandre Dumas, dit Dumas Père, naît le 24 juillet 1802 a Villers-Cotterets et meurt le 5 décembre 1870 a Puys (Seine-Maritime). Il est le fils de Thomas Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, général d’armée, dit le général Dumas, et le père de l’écrivain Alexandre Dumas, dit Dumas fils. La collaboration littéraire qui unit Dumas à Auguste Maquet est l’objet d’importantes discussions. Fils d’un mulâtre, il est souvent l’objet de sarcasmes racistes.
This unexpurgated edition contains the complete text, with minor errors and omissions corrected.
Set at the height of the "tulipomania" that gripped Holland in 17th century, this is the story of Cornelius van Baerle, a humble grower whose sole desire is to grow the perfect specimen of the tulip negra.
When his godfather is murdered, Cornelius finds himself caught up in the deadly politics of the time, imprisoned and facing a death sentence. His jailor's daughter Rosa, holds both the key to his survival and his chance to produce the ultimate tulip.
First published in 1844, Alexandre Dumas's swashbuckling epic chronicles the adventures of D'Artagnan, a gallant young nobleman who journeys to Paris in 1625 hoping to join the ranks of musketeers guarding Louis XIII. He soon finds himself fighting alongside three heroic comrades--Athos, Porthos, and Aramis--who seek to uphold the honor of the king by foiling the wicked plots of Cardinal Richelieu and the beautiful spy "Milady."
"Dumas will be read a hundred, nay, three hundred years on," wrote John Galsworthy. "His greatest creation is undoubtedly D'Artagnan, type at once of the fighting adventurer and of the trusty servant, whose wily blade is ever at the back of those whose hearts have neither his magnanimity nor his courage. Few, if any, characters in fiction inspire one with such belief in their individual existences. . . . To one who made D'Artagnan all shall be forgiven." Clifton Fadiman agreed: "Dumas enjoyed writing his stories. . . . The pleasure he must have felt in
creating D'Artagnan's troubles and triumphs flashes out of these pages. . . . Dumas rampaged through the history of France, inventing, changing, distorting--doing whatever was needed to produce a tale to hold the reader breathless."

Le roman raconte les aventures d'un Gascon impécunieux de 18 ans, d'Artagnan, venu à Paris pour faire carrière dans le corps des mousquetaires. Il se lie d'amitié avec Athos, Porthos et Aramis, mousquetaires du roi Louis XIII. Ces quatre hommes vont s'opposer au Premier ministre, le cardinal de Richelieu, et à ses agents, dont le comte de Rochefort et la belle et mystérieuse Milady de Winter, pour sauver l'honneur de la reine de France Anne d'Autriche.The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean and the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. It is primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, forgiveness and death, and is told in the style of an adventure story.
Entre liberté et justice, vengeance et métamorphose, voici le chef-d’œuvre du roman d’aventures.
