The plot of the "Count of Monte Cristo" was drawn by Alexander Dumas from the archives of the Paris police. The authentic life of Francois Picot under the pen of a brilliant master of the historical adventure genre turned into a fascinating story about Edmond Dantes, a prisoner of the castle of If. Having made a daring escape, he returns to his hometown to do justice - to take revenge on those who destroyed his life. A thick novel that does not let go until the last page, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is a classic that is really reread.
