  Betrayed by his rivals and falsely accused of sedition by a justice system that is anything but, Edmond Dantes is thrown into the dungeon of the Chateau d'If and left for dead. A chance encounter with a mad priest leads to the resurrection of hope, a frightening escape, and the discovery of untold riches. Twenty four years after his incarceration, Edmond Dantes reemerges as the mysterious and vampire like Count of Monte Cristo, with the sole intention of extracting vengeance on those who profited from his disappearance. This classic thriller by Alexandre Dumas has been reimagined many times over the centuries, but this audiobook recording, taken from the original English translation, edited and performed by award winning narrator Joshua Macrae, takes Dumas' Shakespearean poetry and wit and blends it with the craft of modern audio story telling. It's a wild ride from start to finish . . .
