Truly generous men are always ready to feel compassion when their enemy’s misfortune exceeds the bounds of their hatred.

Amazing story. I should have read it years ago when my mom told me to

Dumas is an amazing writer. Not only does he create stories that are full of depth and adventure he also manages to tell it in a way that anyone can understand. He tells his story in a clear and concise way and that is something many modern writers could learn from. "The Count of Monte Cristo is exactly as I just described. Great narration and high paced. "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a masterpiece.

Marked as one the Lords of books: Lord of the "Adventure"-books. ...more
