Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870), one of the most universally read French authors, is best known for his extravagantly adventurous historical novels. As a young man, Dumas emerged as a successful playwright and had considerable involvement in the Parisian theater scene. It was his swashbuckling historical novels that brought worldwide fame to Dumas. Among his most loved works are The Three Musketeers (1844), and The Count of Monte Cristo (1846). He wrote more than 250 books, both Fiction and Non-Fiction, during his lifetime.

Reviews for The Count of Monte Cristo (version 2)

[Edward Brock · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Love the book hate the many different narrator's. It's really hard to get into a book when the narrator is switched with every chapter and some are reading from different versions of the novel.
