The Count of Monte Cristo

Young sailor Edmond Dantes has it all – a loving fiancé, a bright future – but when jealous friends and political plots entangle him, he is thrown into a dreaded island prison for life. Who he meets and what he learns there will send him on a wild journey full of last-minute escapes, buried treasure, and the hardest question of all . . . will he seek revenge on those who tried to ruin him, or will he find a better path?

Jim Weiss abridged and adapted Alexandre Dumas’ massive book to create an exciting audio recording that parents and children alike will enjoy, one which brings to life a colorful cast of characters. This recording would make an excellent supplement to chapter 33 of The Story of the World, Volume Three.
