One of my 5 Faves ❤️ of all time, planning a reread in 2021 using a revision of the original translation , Everyman's Library ed. My original read: the Unabridged Penguin Robin Buss translation.
" 'Without reflecting that this is the only moment in which you can study character, ' said the count. 'On the steps of the scaffold death tears off the mask that has been worn through life, and the real face is disclosed.' "
"I know the world is a drawing-room from which we must retreat politely and honestly ; that is with a bow, and all debts of honour paid."
...............................
📍There's an especially graphic description of an execution by macing that some more sensitive readers may find upsetting.📍

Yli tuhatsivuinen teos, mutta erittäin nopealukuinen: lyhyet luvut ja mielenkiintoinen juoni tekivät tästä täydellisen kesälukemisen!
Tarina kertoo Monte Criston kreivistä, joka kostaakseen kohtalonsa pitää itseään Jumalan lähettämänä sallimuksena juoniessaan vihollistensa tuhon.
1800-luvun alkupuolen Ranska ja Italia seurapiireineen on viihdyttävää lukemista.
Aikansa tuotos, niin hyvässä kuin pahassa.
Ah, teatraalinen, goottilainen, suosikkini! Ihmisyyden pahuus - ja hyvän pilkahdukset.
