A huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s, Dumas was inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment when writing his epic tale of suffering and retribution. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and becomes determined not only to escape but to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of the Château d'If. I wasn't very impressed with the Project Gutenberg translation. It is 1276 pages and has notes at the back that explain all of the references most people today wouldn't understand. But this public domain edition will always be the book that made me fall in love with this great story.A beautiful new clothbound edition of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel of wrongful imprisonment, adventure and revenge. The Penguin Classics version translated by Robin Buss is the one most people agree to be the best/easiest to read. So, I hunted them for a hardcopy edition of the public domain edition and finally came across the Barnes & Noble version with the amazing blue hardcover edition and bought it.įor each their own, I guess! (I will someday maybe sit down and read RB's translation just for fun. and Buss' modern translation did not give me the same feel that this public domain book gives. And I once compared the opening pages between this edition and the penguin edition of Robin Buss. But the main appeal this book has for me is exactly the older English language which Robin Buss' translation seems to do away with. Ok maybe this public domain edition has some part of the story cut out or whatever as many have pointed out on Reddit before. And after listening to this version, I think could never be able to enjoy this in any other edition. In the audiobook version from Librivox narrated exceptionally well by a volunteer named David Clarke.

let's say that he was ahead of his time, and some of these things would have been shocking for the Victorian-era, English-speaking audience! Notice that the 1846 translation is trying to hide something about this particular girl, adding an additional clause not present in the original French (.fastidious connoisseur.) and making it sound like 'she's too erudite' is the issue, as well as her age! And that's not what Dumas was getting at. Language : English Characters : Edmond Dants, Abb Faria, Giovanni Bertuccio, Luigi Vampa, Hayde.more, Mercds Mondego, Fernand Mondego, Albert de Morcerf.
