The Count of Monte Cristo (Macmillan Collector's Library)

When Edmond Dantes is betrayed by his shipmates and imprisoned without trial in the sinister Chateau d'If, it seems almost certain that he will die in chains. But ears later, Paris is intrigued by the emergence of the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo, who bursts onto the social scene with his millions. He soon encounters the three principal betrayers of Dantes who have prospered in the post-Napoleonic boom and, one by one, their lives fall apart.
