About this ebook

"Began to read 'Monte Cristo' at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night." —William Makepeace Thackeray
"Alexandre Dumas is more than French, he is European; he's more than European, he is universal." —Victor Hugo
"No novelist since Dumas has been more irreverent of the conventions of well-made fiction or any more determined to tell stories without identifiable centers." —Terrence Rafferty

Set against the turbulent years of the Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas's thrilling adventure story is one of the most widely read romantic novels of all time. In it the dashing young hero, Edmond Dantès, is betrayed by his enemies and thrown into a secret dungeon in the Chateau d'If — doomed to spend his life in a dank prison cell. The story of his long, intolerable years in captivity, his miraculous escape, and his carefully wrought revenge creates a dramatic tale of mystery and intrigue and paints a vision of France — a dazzling, dueling, exuberant France — that has become immortal.

Alexandre Dumas

De la pluma de Alexandre Dumas (1802-1870) surgieron personajes que muy pronto dieron la vuelta al mundo, como Athos, Porthos, Aramis y el valeroso D’Artagnan, protagonistas de Los tres mosqueteros (1844-1850), o el implacable Edmond Dantès de El conde de Montecristo (1845-1846). El legendario Robin Hood, el joven de gran corazón que vive escondido en los bosques cercanos a Nottingham, sin embargo, nació en la cultura popular de la Inglaterra medieval, en donde también es conocido como Robin Longstride, de Locksley o de Loxley. En el siglo XIX su figura aparece con fuerza en diversas recreaciones y novelas, como la incluida en el Ivanhoe de Walter Scott (1820) o el Robin Hood and Little John de Pierce Egan, publicado por entregas en los periódicos (a. 1840). A estas siguió la aparición de nuestra obra, Le prince des voleurs, así como Robin Hood le proscrit, dos volúmenes publicados entre 1872 y 1873 atribuidos, de forma póstuma, a Alexandre Dumas.
