I haven't read this book since college (nearly 20 years ago), and I had forgotten how much I loved it. The books is, of course, all about the life of Edmond Dantès, his wrongful imprisonment, his return to society with his revenge, forgiveness, and peace. It takes place from about the time that...
I know some people who do not like this book very much and I understand why. While you certainly start of feeling pity for Dantes because of the injustice he suffered his cold-bloodedness, his conviction to do God's work and willingness to also punish the children for the wrongs their fathers did is...
Una delle opere più belle che abbia mai letto. Avvincente, scorrevole, e straordinario! La voglia di vendetta di Dantes diventa nostra, la soddisfazione di ottenerla ci lascia felici. Un testo che ci trasporta nella Francia post napoleonica e in mondi esotici ed orientali. Un amore finito, uno schia...
This is one of the books that I keep coming back to and re-reading whenever the urge strikes...and it strikes quite often; five times so far. Considering the sheer length of the book that might seem odd, but Dumas keeps things moving with his breakneck pace from the moment that poor Edmond Dantès is...
A fantastic book, which I wouldn't even know how to begin to review properly. I will just say this; the Wordsworth Classics-edition, with its endnotes by Keith Wren, heightens the experience of the book simply for the hilarity that is Wren and his at times frustrated irritability with the translator...
p35Danglers: "Absence separates as effectively as death; so just suppose that there were the walls of a prison between Edmond and Mercedes: that would separate them no more nor less than a tombstone."Caderousse: "Yes, but people get out of prison. And when you get out of prison and you are called Ed...
The Count of Monte Cristo is a classic story of betrayal and revenge. Edmond Dantes has it all: a father he loves, a pending promotion, and a beautiful fiance. Unfortunately, others envy him his good fortune and conspire to have him sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. When a fellow prisoner...
Es increíble lo fácil que puede parecer plasmar una historia con letras cuando lees algo como esto. Un libro de los pies a la cabeza, de principio a fin. Largo, si. Pero no le sobra ni una sola página. Lo he disfrutado muchísimo, sobre todo los últimos capítulos. Una lectura imprescindible.Ahora me ...
This is the second Dumas work that I've read after The Three Musketeers. What I find interesting about Dumas is that there is a general popular view that his work is literature but, in fact, it is very much genre fiction of the 19th century. Dumas was a bit of a hack and churned out his work. He ...
