The Count of Monte CristoWith the post-Napoleonic era as the back-drop, the novel covers the life of a young sailor, Edmond Dantes. The narration follows him from near-triumph to complete disaster and then his swashbuckling adventures to get freedom and revenge. The blustering journey of the protagonist keeps the reader on the edge. |
