Synopsis

In "The Count of Monte Cristo," Alexandre Dumas unfolds a riveting tale of betrayal, resilience, and revenge set against the turbulent backdrop of early 19th-century France. This richly illustrated edition enhances Dumas's eloquent prose and intricate narrative, with vivid descriptions and complex characters that vividly bring to life the themes of justice and redemption. Dumas adeptly weaves elements of historical fiction with adventure, drawing from real events to create a profound exploration of the human spirit and moral dilemmas faced by individuals in a corrupt society. Alexandre Dumas, a literary giant of the Romantic era, was profoundly influenced by his diverse heritage and turbulent personal experiences. The son of a French nobleman and a enslaved Haitian woman, Dumas's life was markedly shaped by themes of social injustice and personal triumph. His passion for storytelling and keen understanding of the human condition inform his characters and their struggles, most notably evident in the journey of Edmond Dantès, who transforms from wronged sailor to avenging nobleman. Readers seeking a masterful blend of action, philosophical musings, and rich historical context will find "The Count of Monte Cristo" indispensable. Dumas's timeless exploration of vengeance and forgiveness resonates, making it an engaging and thought-provoking read. This iconic work remains a significant cultural reference, offering profound insights into morality and the complexities of human relationships.

    They call him Ghost. A hard man with a hard past, Garret "Ghost" McCoy will never forget the day his family was brutally attacked by vicious marauders. It forced him to grow up fast, get tough even faster, and sharpen every skill to survive—by gun, by knife, or by fist. A true loner and silent stalker, Ghost is the kind of no-nonsense bounty hunter who always gets his man. Dead or alive. But it's only a matter of time before his reputation catches up with him—in a dusty dead-end town called Coyote Flats . . . 
     
     
     
    It starts with a killing. Three murderous cattle rustlers with a bounty on their heads reach the end of the line on the streets of Coyote Flats—where Ghost guns them down in a shootout. Impressed by the bounty hunter's gun skills, the leader of a local outlaw gang makes Ghost an offer he can't refuse. But Ghost refuses anyway. Which ticks off the outlaw—and draws the attention of another leader of another outlaw gang. Like it or not, Ghost is stuck in the middle of a gang war between two fierce rivals. But there's something about the second gang that's different. Something familiar . . . 
     
     
     
    They're the marauders who killed Ghost's family. And now they're about to get Ghosted.

    “Summer” is one of only two novels Edith Wharton wrote that takes place in a rural setting (the other being her classic “Ethan Frome.”)  Given the subject matter, the book was considered scandalous in its day, but it is now considered a classic of early 19th century American literature.   
    The story follows the life and sexual awakening of Charity Royall, a young girl living in a small town who has dreams of moving out of her poverty-stricken community.  Courted by both the local rich businessman - her former guardian - and the dashing town ne’er-do-well, Charity starts up a love affair with the younger man.  But when her budding romance starts to take a turn…Charity is forced to grow up fast. 
    Edith Wharton - the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction - is one of the 20th centuries most beloved authors and we are proud to present “Summer” in its original and unabridged format.
