'The Count of Monte Cristo' is a classic of the historical adventure genre, created by the immortal literary genius Alexandre Dumas. The plot about the incredible fate of Edmond Dantes, a prisoner of the Chateau d'If, was drawn by the author from real life. The writer came up with the name of his hero during a trip to the Mediterranean Sea, when he saw the island of Montecristo and heard the legend about the countless treasures buried there. The author just slightly changed the name of the island. The novel describes events from 1814 to the end of the 1830s.
