Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantes is confined to the grim fortress of the Château d'If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and becomes determined not only to escape but to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. A huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s, Dumas was inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment when writing his epic tale of suffering and retribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePenguin Clothbound Classics are bound in cloth and not paper. The design is stamped on in foil, and each cover repeats one small icon taken from the story. The series was designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith, who took her inspiration from Victorian bookbinding.

They make beautiful presents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe foil can rub off if the books are stacked tightly, so give them a little room on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Alexandre Dumas\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eClassic fiction (pre c 1945)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 29 Nov 2012 by Penguin Books Ltd.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dumas, Alexandre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55718454591866,"sku":"9780141392462","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780141392462.jpg?v=1754414347","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/ro\/products\/the-count-of-monte-cristo-9780141392462","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
