Alexandre Dumas began his literary career writing for popular magazines, and he made a name for himself as a playwright before turning 30. But then he changed course and began writing novels. At the time, serializations were extremely popular, so he took one of his plays and adapted it for installment reading.

It is said that Dumas published a total of 100,000 pages in his lifetime. Dumas died in 1870 nearly broke, but his many tales of adventure live on, and they have enjoyed a recent surge of popularity due to film and television adaptations.

The Count of Monte Cristo is probably his most famous novel, an epic tale that takes place in France, Italy, the Mediterranean Islands and the Levant from 1815-1838, spanning a generation of characters and growth. The book’s protagonist, Edmund Dantès, is one of the most famous characters in literature, and the story follows him as he runs the gamut of emotions. Even today, the story’s themes of hope, justice, vengeance and mercy fascinate readers of all ages.

The Authoritative Count of Monte Cristo Collection includes the book and a comprehensive guide that provides a synopsis, a description of the characters, and a summary and analysis of every chapter. You can use this as a guide while you read or as a way to brush up on everything you once knew and since forgot.
