Le Comte de Monte-Cristo is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, written with the collaboration of Auguste Maquet and whose publication begins in the summer of 1844. It is partially inspired by real events, borrowed from the life of Pierre Picaud1.
The book tells how, at the start of Louis XVIII's reign, on February 24, 1815, the day Napoleon left the Island of Elba, Edmond Dantès, a nineteen-year-old young sailor2, mate of the ship Le Pharaon, landed in Marseille for get engaged there the next day with the beautiful Catalan Mercédès. Betrayed by jealous "friends", he was denounced as a Bonapartist conspirator and locked up in a jail in the Château d'If, off the coast of Marseille. After fourteen years, first reduced to loneliness and despair, then regenerated and instructed in secret by a fellow captive, Father Faria, he manages to escape and takes possession of a treasure hidden in the island of Montecristo whose abbot, before dying, had informed him of the existence. Rich and powerful now, Dantès passes himself off for various characters, including the Count of Monte Cristo. He sets out to guarantee happiness and freedom to the few who have remained faithful to him and to methodically take revenge on those who have wrongly accused him and imprisoned him.
