Features: This book is a shining gem in the treasure trove of world literature. It is one of the representative works of the renowned French writer Alexandre Dumas and belonged to the genre of "newspaper serial novels" at the time. The protagonist, Edmond Dantès, is a young sailor from Marseille. Just as he has become an acting captain and is preparing to marry, he falls victim to the jealousy and plotting of his fellow crewmates—his escort Danglar, his rival Fernand, and the leader Cadroux. They falsely accuse him of being a "Napoleonist" and have him arrested. During the case review, the prosecutor becomes involved due to his father's connection to the case, leading him to sentence Edmond to death in the Iff prison.
