    About this audiobook

    The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered, along with The Three Musketeers, as Dumas' most popular work. It is also among the highest selling books of all time.





    It is no exaggeration to say “Monte Cristo” still ranks as one of the most exciting stories imaginable, one every bit as good as anything Steven Spielberg or J.K. Rowling could ever conjure up.





    "Began to read ‘Monte Cristo’ at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night." —William Makepeace Thackeray





    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 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.

      It’s not the book I’m rating but the recording; I’m not sure if it’s a problem exclusive to me but the chapters are just ending. The recording seems to be corrupted.

      "The Count of Monte Cristo" is an amazing read! The absolutely ridiculous theme tempered by such smartly crafted characters made me love every sweet, sarcastic, little moment.
      Great heartwarming story. Just too much cussing for my taste.

      Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s.

      Robin Buss’s lively English translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas’s original. This edition includes an introduction, explanatory notes and suggestions for further reading.

      What a beautiful book, it is a classic of literature. I enjoy it a lot listening because I didn't need to worry about anything else, just play and it's done. It was ideal to listen before going to sleep and during the weekend. I also liked his 'french' pronunciation!

      THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is an amazing story! This Kindle Edition translation of this book is so bad that it's comical. It's got so many mistakes, it takes a translator to understand the translation! It's like whoever translated it didn't speak English or it was translated by a computer.
      Here are a couple of my favorite "translations" from French to English:
      PRICEY - as in "Hello my pricey Father"...word that should have been used: TREASURED
      UNITED STATES OF AMERICA or USA as in "I'm having a party at my United States of America home in the South of France."...word that should have been used: COUNTRY
      CANDY - as in "She had such a candy face."...word that should have been used: SWEET
      HOMOSEXUAL - "All of the ladies at the party were happy and homosexual."....word that should have been used: GAY
      INTERNATIONAL - "What in the international is going on?"...word that should have been used: WORLD
      PHOTOGRAPH - "Why do you photograph such a gloomy future."...word that should have been used: PICTURE
      DOMESTIC - "Welcome to my domestic"...word that should have been used: HOME
      ...and so many more!

      THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO is one of my favorite books of all time. Alexandre Dumas's swashbuckling adventure about envy, betrayal, revenge and redemption kept me turning the pages many years ago, and it’s one the nineteenth century books I hold dear to my heart. (Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and George Elliot’s Daniel Deronda are also on the top list.) So I was excited about this movie. Jim Caviezel plays Edmund Dantes! Be still, my overactive imagination! (My heart too.) And the rest of the cast — Guy Pierce, James Frain, Luis Guzmán, just to name a few — are perfect in their roles.

      Eco-Resort El Morro is the only family-oriented facility in Montecristi and a gorgeous retreat for couples too. Excellent service, quite atmosphere, ideal to rest after excursions. Clean, cozy and all amenities (wi-fi, cable TV, hot water, AC, etc). The staff is wonderful and they will cater to any request with a smile. Although is a bit expensive than other hotels in the area, you wont regret paying the extra U$40!! Huge difference between this hotel and other accommodations in Montecristi.

      Seriously, this was an awesome book.The Count Of Monte Cristo is the story that teaches us an important moral lesson which feelings such as patience, plot, love, hatred and revenge were handled as best as possible.
