Klappentext zu „The Count of Monte Cristo “
'people get out of prison, and when they get out, and their name is Edmond Dantès, they take their revenge!'Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dantès is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Ch
teau d'If. 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. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, The Count of Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge. Believing himself to be an 'Angel of
Providence', Dantès pursues his vengeance to the bitter end, only then realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.
One of the great thrillers of all time, The Count of Monte Cristo has been adapted for film and television many times. 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 atsix one morning and never stopped till eleven at night'.

Autoren-Porträt von Alexandre, der Ältere Dumas
Alexandre Dumas der Ältere (1802-70) wächst als Sohn eines napoleonischen Generals in der nordfranzösischen Provinz auf. Früh verwaist und arm, doch von seinen Talenten überzeugt, begibt er sich als Neunzehnjähriger nach Paris, wo er zum Theater will. Sein Kapital: eine schöne Handschrift, ein paar verwilderte Rebhühner und eine schier unerschöpfliche Phantasie. Die Theaterstücke, die er zunächst schreibt, sind heute vergessen. Doch zwanzig Jahre später, 1844, ist er mit 'Der Grafen von Monte Christo' der König des literarischen Feuilletons. Denn Dumas hatte den Nerv des Leserpublikums getroffen. Er bot eine intrigenreiche Handlung, Spannung, Illustion auf einem geschichtlichen Hintergrund, den man in groben Zügen kannte. Er bot historische Wahrheit, phantasievoll aufgefüllt mit Dichtung, und mischte ihr jenen feinen Schuss Ironie bei, der seine Romane bis heute so lesenswert macht.
