Extra Info:
The Count of
Monte Cristo
It is often considered, along with The Three Musketeers, as Dumas' best
work, and is frequently included on lists of the best novels of all time.
The writing of the work was completed in 1844. Like many of his novels, it
is expanded from the plot outlines suggested by his collaborating
ghostwriter Auguste Maquet.
The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean
during the historical events of 1815–1838 (from just before the Hundred Days
through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). It is primarily concerned
with themes of justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, and is told in
the style of an adventure story.
Dumas got the idea for The Count of Monte Cristo from a true story, which he
found in a memoir written by a man named Jacques Peuchet. Peuchet related
the story of a shoemaker named Pierre Picaud, who was living in Paris in
1807. Picaud was engaged to marry a rich woman, but four jealous friends
falsely accused him of being a spy for England. He was imprisoned for seven
years. During his imprisonment a dying fellow prisoner bequeathed him a
treasure hidden in Milan. When Picaud was released in 1814, he took
possession of the treasure, returned under another name to Paris and spent
ten years plotting his successful revenge against his former friends.
