Chi sono io per valutare 1 stella Dumas? Chiaramente sto cazzo quindi eviterò di rendermi ridicola ma solo il signore sa quando ho detestato sto libro e tutte le volte che la gente “gettava un grido” urlando “oh mio dio”

Gosh. It's been a month since I finished it, but I don’t think that I can accurately describe how much I love this book and what impact it had on me, and I’m afraid that I’m just going to banalize my feelings by trying to put them into words. I always want to verbalize everything, which can be a great gift and also a very annoying quality, but in this specific case, I just think that my love is meant to remain in its purest, rawest form.
Dear Edmond, I’ve been preoccupied with life and other interests, but know that I haven’t forgotten about you, and not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. You're with me constantly, you've taken up a place in my heart, and nothing can move you from there.
My good-hearted boy, my tragic hero, my avenging angel, my phoenix rising from the ashes. I saw your pain, and by reading this book, I felt like mine was seen, too.
I wish you the healing that you so deserve, and know that you were essential in my own.
All that is left for me to do is wait and hope.
Love,
Berta

Uno di quei libri che temi di affrontare per la mole di pagine che ti si prospetta, ma che scopri essere estremamente moderno e scorrevole. Un libro che mi ha intrattenuto per diverso tempo, con interessanti plot twist che non mi sarei aspettata. Bello vedere come tutto si intreccia e si spiega.
Mi è piaciuto come nonostante il conte si ricostruisca come una persona che non dà nessun valore ai rapporti umani e che vede la gentilezza come qualcosa che potrà dargli qualcosa in cambio in futuro, sembra scordarsi di questa parte con determinati personaggi che ritiene degni delle sue attenzioni.
Un grande libro sul karma alla fine lol.
Ora voglio anch'io la mia bella isola con un palazzo segreto.

‘I want to be Providence, because the thing that I know which is finest, greatest and most sublime in the world is to reward and to punish.’
One of the best books I’ve ever read, full stop. This book is capable of magic: it keeps us turning the pages quickly, as it is full of clever plot twists and cliff hangers, and at the same time, Dumas knows when to pump the breaks and bask in these characters and let them meditate on so many important themes, such as free will/fate, knowledge/reason, and revenge/justice. This book reminds me of the highest of highs in shows like Breaking Bad or early Game of Thrones, where all the plot points come together at a certain point and just sing in sublime clockwork, as we are beholden to the Old Testament god-like revenge Edmond is capable of.
Treat yourself right and skip any abridged version; Robin Buss’s translation is quick, snappy, and easy to read, with great endnotes to give some background information on France in the early 19th century. I can’t imagine cutting a single page anywhere from this book, as it just feels like every moment is important and indispensable.
