Limited Edition - Collector's Edition. A great unique gift for yourself or for a loved one. Part of the 100 Greatest Books Ever Written collection by Easton Press. Beautifully illustrated and bound in genuine leather. One of the most celebrated works of literature by a historical writer. Sealed in the original shrink-wrap by the publisher.

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas. It is often considered to be, along with The Three Musketeers, Dumas' most popular work. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.

The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean and the Levant during the historical events of 1815-1838 (from just before the Hundred Days through to the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. It is primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, forgiveness and death, and is told in the style of an adventure story.
