Marseille, 1815 — a young sailor named Edmond Dantès has a ship's command, a wedding day, and a future, until a rival's anonymous letter sends him to a fortress prison for a crime he never committed. Alexandre Dumas's sweeping novel of injustice, patience, and reckoning hands you Dantès's own years behind those walls — keep Abbé Faria's counsel in the cell beside him, or find out for yourself what a wronged man does once he finally has the truth.
