The release date for the English version of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas is May 2003. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

Edmond Dantès is imprisoned in the gloomy stronghold of If after being sent into jail for a crime he did not commit. There he finds out about a massive treasure trove buried on the Isle of Monte Cristo, and he resolves to not only get out from there but also to find the wealth and use it to hatch a scheme to kill the three men who imprisoned him. Inspired by a true story of unjust incarceration, Dumas' epic narrative of anguish and revenge was widely read when it was initially published in the 1840s.

The vibrant English translation by Robin Buss is comprehensive, unabridged, and maintains the original author's style. An introduction, illustrative notes, and recommendations for further reading are included in this version.
