    About this ebook

    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. The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.

    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.

    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.
