<DIV><B>An epic adventure and one of the most enduring fables in Western literature</B><BR /><BR />Edmond Dant&eacute;s has a life that any man would envy. A promising young sailor about to be made a captain, he has come home to Marseille to marry his beautiful fianc&eacute;e, Merc&eacute;d&egrave;s. But on the eve of his wedding, Dant&eacute;s is betrayed, accused of treason, and sentenced without trial to life in prison. For the first six years, Dant&eacute;s can only mourn his stolen future and dwell on the treachery that landed him behind bars. On the verge of suicide, he meets a fellow prisoner who gives him not just an education in revenge, but the means to accomplish it, as well. After an ingenious escape, Dant&eacute;s recovers a hidden treasure and returns to Marseille as the Count of Monte Cristo, a man whose unlimited resources are matched only by his boundless thirst for vengeance.<BR /><BR />An illuminating portrait of early nineteenth-century France and a timeless tale of justice achieved,&#160;<I>The Count of Monte Cristo&#160;</I>has inspired numerous adaptations, from comic books and Broadway plays to the hit TV series&#160;<I>Revenge</I>.<BR /></DIV>
