Riassunto

Edmond Dantes was a young sailor who, in 1815, came home to Marseilles with great expectations. But Dantes's enemies had him imprisoned in the dungeons of Château D'If. In prison, Dantes met and befriended and Italian abbé who educated him and then, in death, helped him escape with a fabulous secret of a treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Back in France, the Counts plans have been set into motion. With information from the landlord Carderousse, Dantes plotted the ruin of the men who imprisoned him those many years. Danglars, his former shipmate. Fernand who stole Mercedes from him. Villefort, who signed the order for his imprisonment. Caderousse's own greed was turned against him. Then, in Paris, Monte Cristo ingratiated himself with Danglars, now a banker. Now the ruining begins!
