The Count of Monte Cristo
by Alexandre Dumas
The story of Edmond Dantes and his exquisite revenge against the man who so deeply wronged him.
On the 24th of February, 1815, the look-out at Notre-Dame de la Garde signaled the three-master, the Pharaon from Smyrna, Trieste, and Naples.
As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Ch?teau d'If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgiou and Rion island.
Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like the Pharaon, has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocee docks, and belongs to an owner of the city.
[Thus begins Alexandre Dumas's literary classic which tells the story of Edmond Dantes and his exquisite revenge against the man who so deeply wronged him.]
