What Members Thought

Edmond Dantes hat eine strahlende Zukunft vor sich: Er hat sich einen Namen als Seemann gemacht und soll nun das Kommando über ein Handelsschiff übernehmen, außerdem steht seine Hochzeit kurz bevor. Doch es gibt Neider, einen Komplott und unglückliche Verwicklungen, die dazu führen, dass er im Gefängnis landet. Erst nach 14 Jahren entkommt er und schwört Rache an jenen, die ihm übel mitgespielt hatten. Er kommt zu Geld und Einfluss und zieht die Fäden, die zum Untergang seiner Feinde führen soll

This book has been intimidating me from my shelves for several years. I am glad I finally committed to reading it. So much beautiful detail, incredibly well developed characters and meaningful themes. Just when it would seem the details were becoming tedious, an event would happen which necessitated their inclusion and the plot would thicken. Dumas crafted a true masterpiece in “The Count of Monte Cristo” and this is likely a book I will revisit multiple times!
