El conde de Montecristo

Monumental work where they exist, The Count of Monte Cristo is the narrative summit of Alexandre Dumas, as well as the best example of the literary serial thanks to a complex plot full of always surprising plot twists. Charismatic and chameleon-like, Edmond Dantès symbolizes like no other the changes that France experienced during the first half of the 19th century. His descent into hell and his subsequent resurgence give us the definitive story about the thirst for revenge and justice. But this timeless classic goes much further. In its pages we see a powerful song to loyalty and perseverance, the portrait of an unrepeatable process of learning and self-improvement, as well as one of the most influential novels in contemporary popular culture.
