Publisher Description
An adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, it focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune and sets about getting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have devastating consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty.
Considered a literary classic today, The Count of Monte Cristo has become a fixture of Western literature, as inescapable and immediately identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noah's flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Complete and unabridged; a 55-hour epic adventure!
Customer Reviews
Oh dear - this is torture
The narration is really poor. I don't think I can listen to 50 hours of this, particularly the dialogue between the characters, the strange pauses, and the attempted French accents!
Awful
It sounds like it's being read by a machine. Ruins the language and makes the story pretty much impossible to follow.
The count of Monte Cristo
A fantastic story ruined by very poor narration. I now know why it was so cheap!
Am determined to listen till the end.
