Publisher Description

Il conte di Montecristo è uno dei più famosi romanzi di Alexandre Dumas. E' cnsiderato la sua opera migliore, fu finito nel 1844, e fu pubblicato nei due anni successivi come romanzo d'appendice, in una serie di 18 parti. Questa è la storia, per dirla con le parole del protagonista, di un uomo che aveva riposte tutte le proprie speranze, tutta la propria felicità sopra una donna: era giovane, aveva un vecchio padre che amava, una fidanzata che adorava; era sul punto di sposarla; per uno di quei capricci della sorte, che farebbe quasi dimenticare la bontà di Dio, se Dio poi non si rivelasse più tardi, mostrando che tutto è per lui un mezzo di condurre alla sua misericordia infinita, ad un tratto gli fu tolta la libertà, la fidanzata, l'avvenire che sognava e che credeva suo, per seppellirlo nel fondo di un carcere. Ebbene! Nel momento supremo, Dio si rivelò a lui con un mezzo umano; forse al primo istante non comprese questa misericordia infinita del Signore, poiché ci vuol tempo agli occhi velati di lacrime per schiudersi del tutto; ma infine prese pazienza e aspettò.E' dunque una storia di pazienza e di attesa, e la vendetta del prigioniero, prima inseguita e poi maledetta , non fu che una fiamma accesa da Dio per illuminare la strada dell'uomo Edmondo Dantès, e un'esca letteraria lanciata dall'autore Dumas per tenere avvinti i lettori, storia dopo storia, da Parigi, a Roma, a Giannina d'Epiro, fino alla misteriosa isola di Montecristo.

"I read this book for school and it was perhaps one of the best books that I ever HAD to read. It seems to have everything you could want in a book. It was not a difficult read and is very compelling. You want to know how the character is going to seek his revenge on those who have wronged him. I enjoyed that it doesn't necessarily mean that he goes out and kills them all. It is just an absolutely fantastic book."

    " I thought some of it was very beautiful and there were quotable parts. The issue I had with it (why it's not a 5 star though I'm pretty liberal with them) is how Edmond is set up to god-like status. "

    " It has been a couple months, but I LOVED this book. Do people write with such intuition and insight anymore? It felt at times like reading Les Miserables or War and Peace with the casual epiphanies every other page. I wanted to turn around and just read it again. It was an experience. "
