The unforgettable story of Edmond Dantes is a masterpiece of literature that has remained popular with readers for nearly two centuries.

From best-selling author Alexandre Dumas—who also wrote The Three Musketeers—comes the epic tale of Edmond Dantes, wrongly imprisoned for fourteen years, kept from the woman he loved, and unjustly denied the life they had planned. His revenge on the men responsible is intertwined with subplots of redemption, vengeance, and romance.

The Count of Monte Cristo is a timeless classic that speaks to readers across generations. This handsome leather-bound edition from Canterbury Classics will be a highlight of any home library with features including gilded edges, custom endpapers, and a ribbon bookmark.
