Count of Monte Cristo: Abridged
Count of Monte Cristo: Abridged | Alexandre Dumas
3 posts | 8 read | 2 reading | 1 to read
The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great thrillers of all time. In 1853 William Thackeray wrote to a friend: 'began to read Monte Cristo at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night.'. Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmund Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Chateau d'If. After staging a dramatic escape, he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge. Believing himself to be an 'Angel of Providence', Dantes pursues his vengeance to the bitter end, only then realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.

Count of Monte Cristo: Abridged | Alexandre Dumas

I'm done!! 🎉🎉 All 47+ hours of it.
Did I like it? 🤔 Enough to keep listening, I guess. It is the ultimate revenge story. And there's no shortage of over the top drama.
I think I would have loved it more in my late teens, early twenties before my taste for melodrama got blunted. It would have swept me away then.
Still, it feels like an accomplishment! But it will be a looong while (if ever) before I read more Dumas

Cathythoughts Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 5y

merelybookish @Liz_M Thanks! I had a paper copy as well but found it hard to read. Audio was easier, although I did drift occasionally while listening. 🙂 5y
