The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel by French author
Alexandre Dumas. It is one of the author's most popular works, along
with The Three Musketeers. He completed the work in 1844. Like many of
his novels, it is expanded from plot outlines suggested by his
collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.
The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean,
and in the Levant during the historical events of 1815–1838. The
historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. An adventure
story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy
and forgiveness, it focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned,
escapes from jail, acquires a fortune and sets about getting revenge on
those responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have
devastating consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty.Wikipedia
