Literary Fiction
by Alexandre Dumas
Edmond Dantès is wrongly imprisoned, escapes after fourteen years, discovers a hidden treasure, and methodically exacts revenge on those who betrayed him. Dumas crafts an epic tale of justice, transformation, and the corrosive nature of vengeance set against post-Napoleonic France. This sweeping adventure remains one of literature's most thrilling and emotionally complex revenge narratives.
