"Y poco a poco, como esos manantiales resecos por el verano, que cuando se amasan las nubes de otoño se van humedeciendo poco a poco y comienzan a manar gota a gota, así, el conde de Montecristo sintió igualmente brotar en su pecho esa vieja hiel extravasada que antaño inundara el corazón de Edmond Dantes.
Pero él, desde ese momento, ni hermoso cielo, ni graciosas barcas, ni ardiente luz, el cielo se veló con crespones fúnebres, y la aparición del gigante negro que se llama castillo de If le sobresaltó como, si de repente, se le hubiera aparecido el fantasma de un enemigo mortal.
El conde de Montecristo, 1844-46
Alexandre Dumas

El conde de Montecristo es la historia de una venganza. De cómo un joven e ingenuo marinero francés, llamado Edmond Dantes acabará consumándola a lo largo de los años, convertido en el conde de Montecristo y consumido a su vez por ella.
Ha sido un viaje lector trepidante, apasionado y muy, muy interesante, gracias a la estupenda organización de Vi @teconlibros en la LC para #clubclásicosjuveniles y #téconfranceses.
Hemos debatido, exigido sangre, sufrido, amado y odiado. Me ha salido urticaria con ciertos momentos de almíbar exagerado y no me ha gustado el final ni el personaje central. Pero qué gran libro! Y qué bien me lo he pasado.

Obviously a very good book. So many extremely detailed, well realised characters behaving pretty believably. Tonnes of twists and turns and satisfying conclusions. I just didn't love it.
I think my main issue is doing it on audiobook. Obviously it's a long book, but the audiobook was LONG. It took me 6 months to get through it. I also struggled a bit with the narrator, and I'm not sure whether I mean the narrator of the audiobook or the narrator in the book. Every time Monte Cristo does something, the book narrator is like "oh, isn't he incredible for having done that, he's so smart and handsome and dreamy." I'm not sure how much of that was the book itself and how much was the audiobook narrator - I think it was mainly due to the way the audiobook guy read those bits, but I've knocked a bit off the score regardless.

Cancellare la memoria, in modo selettivo
Se ci fosse un modo - non troppo costoso, chiaramente - di cancellarsi selettivamente la memoria, lo farei per avere la possibilità di rileggere da capo questa meraviglia, godendo della scoperta di qualcosa di nuovo, pagina dopo pagina. Magari basta solo attendere un po', e l'età sostituirà una tecnologia che, al momento, non pare ancora disponibile.

My two favorite literary quotes are from this book: "All human wisdom is contained in these two words - Wait and Hope" and "It's necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live."
