The Count of Monte Cristo

By: Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by: Arthur Lane

Young sailor Edmond Dantès has it all lined up: a job he loves, a woman he adores, and a future that seems pretty much guaranteed. One small problem—a few jealous "friends" and a whispered accusation are enough to turn his life into a nightmare. In a heartbeat, Edmond loses his freedom, his name, and any faith he ever had in justice.

But in the darkness of his prison cell, something new is born: knowledge, patience, and a plan so careful and cold that it will shake the lives of everyone who betrayed him.

The ending was worth the many hours of waiting

Loved it and sorry I waited almost 80 years to listen to/read it. The narrator was superb. I had to do a lot of research along the way and watched the movie too. All helped to enhance the pleasure of reading this classic timeless story.
