The Count of Monte Cristo
The tale is set in 18th century France. A story, full of ambition, intrigue, hatred, love, and vengeance, that tells us how Edmundo Dantès, a young seaman who is soon to wed his beloved Mercédès, is falsely accused of treason and imprisoned in the Castillo de If. There, he meets Abbé Farias, an old prisoner who teaches him mathematics, science, languages and a vast collection of knowledge, and ultimately reveals to him the secret of a fabulous treasure hidden on the island of Monte Cristo. Upon escaping the prison, Dantès recovers the treasure, and transforms himself into the Count of Monte Cristo in order to exact his revenge upon those who have wronged him.
