The Count of Monte Cristo (Wordsworth Classics) Paperback – 5 November 1997

The most sensational novel written by Alexander Dumas

The book arrived in good condition, the only thing I didn't like was that it didn't come with a bookmark... it's my request to the book vendors/Amazon to kindly provide bookmarks with the books as readers really appreciate these small things as an add on

The media could not be loaded.  This rating is solely for the tiny font 😒 It’s too Tini and which means very straining to eyes 😞 the book arrived in good and acceptable condition. I wish the font size was a bit larger even if that meant to increase in the number of pages.

Product is in very good condition. Will read and update later about the content.

The condition of the delivered book was horrendous. I just can't ignore the bend marks and torn pages. And on top of all that, woodswarth publication books come with small font sizes apparently which I didn't know about. Looks like I might need a microscope to read it fml.

I would give 5 star for the content of the book. It loses 2 stars for the size of font( it is really small). Go for the same book from some other publisher. The font is too small to make it look disinteresting.

This is one of the classics of French literature. It is a story that has a bit of everything. This translation is well written. I bought this as a gift.

O que posso dizer sobre este clássico popular?É uma história de vingança que você pode curtir, porque as vítimas são bastardos que merecem tudo. Bem, principalmente.É longo. É muito compulsivamente legível.É exagerado e melodramático. Também é muito envolvente e um virador de página.Tem um pouco de filosofia de egoísmo e, no final, depois de destruir a vida de seus inimigos e suas famílias, Monte Cristo se pergunta por um momento: “Eu tinha o direito de brincar de deus? De qualquer forma, estou fora, tchau”É um livro sobre dois grandes amores do Conde. Um, quando ela pensou que o havia perdido, continuou vivendo com o coração partido. Outra disse duas vezes que se mataria imediatamente no momento em que ele a deixasse. No final, uma mulher fica com sua vida destruída, quebrada, sussurrando seu nome nas ondas. O outro pega um cara e navega no horizonte com ele. Adivinha quem é quem?E se eu morasse em Paris em meados do século 19, com certeza estaria esperando na fila perto do quiosque que vendia a nova edição. Bravo para Dumas e seus escritores fantasmas!

Increíble!!

My books always arrive fast with Amazon, so it’s my first choice as I’m ploughing through my 1001 book list to read before I depart this earth.Reading this book (The Count of Monte Cristo) was like reading the most eloquent poetry. The book is thick! But it is written so beautifully, described with such vision and executed with perfection.Yes, I have watched the film and it is one of my favourite films, but this book goes into so much more detail, and obviously has a different plot to the actual film; which makes it more enjoyable to be honest. I loved Dumas’ storytelling, and his passion for words. Very powerful indeed! It has left such an impact on my choice to read more of his books. My heart truly skipped for joy with the turn of every page.By far the best book I have ever read and I look forward to reading more of Alexandre Dumas’ stories.Highly recommend!

Dumas' fabuous book of post Napolionic times. An adventure set at sea and on land. A tale of passion, tragedy, greed, misfortunes and fortunes. There are times when all but the most saintly of us dream of revenge - and this is a dream revenge.
