The Count of Monte Cristo

by Alexandre Dumas and Auguste Maquet

Summary

The Count of Monte Cristo is an adventure novel by the French writer Alexandre Dumas. It was serialised from 1844 to 1846, then published in book form in 1846. It is one of his most popular works, along with The Three Musketeers (1844) and Man in the Iron Mask (1850). Like many of his novels, it was expanded from plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter, Auguste Maquet. It is regarded as a classic of French and world literature. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
