Publisher's summary

Marseille, 1815. Edmond Dantès ramène à bon port, après la mort de son capitaine, le trois-mâts "Le pharaon". Bientôt capitaine de ce bateau et fiancé à la belle Mercédès, il voit ses espérances comblées. Jamais le bonheur n'a été aussi proche. Mais soudain, le soir du repas de fiançailles le rêve se brise. Une dénonciation anonyme, une machination diabolique le sépare de son amour, l'enterre vivant dans un cachot, séparé à jamais du monde des vivants. Edmond Dantès se retrouve prisonnier au château d'If. Qui veut lui nuire ? Pourquoi ?

Dantès l'ignore et se raccroche aux belles paroles de ses geôliers. Mais les années passent et la folie le guette ! Au plus profond du désespoir, dans la nuit perpétuelle de sa cellule, Edmond fait connaissance d'un autre prisonnier, l'abbé Faria. Il apprendra alors, outre une phénoménale connaissance de l'être humain, le secret de l'emplacement d'un inestimable trésor. Edmond Dantès disparaîtra à tout jamais, à la mort de son ami, lorsqu'il prendra la place de son cadavre pour fuir.

Après un long séjour en Italie et la découverte effective du fabuleux trésor de l'abbé Faria, il renaîtra en comte de Monte-Cristo et reviendra en France pour se préparer à assouvir son inexorable vengeance.

Excellent!

The narrator did a phenomenal job! This has got to be one of the best audio book performances I've ever listened to.

Monte-Cristo. Tomo 1. Supremo.

Excelente libro. Me gustó mucho. Lo que le hacen al protagonista es imperdonable, pero después viene la recompensa. Muy bien narrado.

Parfait

Narration sublime. Pour l’histoire, j’ai toujours pensé, à tort, que c’était un roman d’aventure pour les adolescents. Après avoir “lu” le tome I, je crois plutôt qu’il s’agit de la vraie littérature sérieuse, une étude profonde de la vengeance. C’est un thriller qui chauffe à feu doux dans le style du 19ème siècle. On se permettait alors le temps de bien “faire rôtir” l’histoire. Recompense aux plus patients. On sent vite la temperature monter dans les dernières chapitres quand on decouvre la vraie nature du Comte et on commence à deviner un dessein de vengeance, froidement calculé et sûrement impitoyable, pour ses ennemis. Je pressens que de grands, violents et même cruels événements vont avoir lieu dans le tôme II. J’ai hâte !

Un livre fantastique lu par une voix captivante

J'ai adoré. Le livre est extraordinaire et la voix crée une superbe expérience. C'est mieux que le cinéma !

Great rendition of a great classic.

The story is classic, beautifully woven together in an expansive narrative (conveniently long for many hours of enjoyment) full of adventure, tragedy, revenge but also comedy and hope.

The narrator has a very enjoyable voice, and through his expression gives additional life to the story far beyond reading. For example, I found that the narrator renders the full impact of the funnier scenes, causing outright laughter.

I chose this book to test out audiobooks. I was unsure of the format, but thought the poetic writing style of Dumas would lend itself to being read aloud. My expectations were far exceeded, and this book has rescued tedious hours folding laundry or and executing simple but time consuming tasks at work.

Great story.

Beginning of the book was brilliant but the second part, Paris stay, is somehow a bit more slow or heavy to listen.
Performance is always very good.
I'll buy Tome 2 right now.
Enjoy this book :-)
