I was quite surprised that I would get so involved in the story that is not unfamiliar to me or anyone, probably, thanks to the countless movie/television adaptations.įor the sake of a summary, the story begins in Marseilles, France, in 1815, with the arrival of the merchant ship, the Pharaon, captained by the first mate, 19-year-old Edmond Dantes, because of the recent death of the ship’s original captain. Obviously, from the title of the post, the book is Alexandre Dumas‘ The Count of Monte Cristo.Īlmost every night of September, I would read till the wee hours of the morning and was very tempted to continue reading, if not for my job, which sadly, I had to go to. ![]() I spent the entire month of September reading one book – just one very long, very good book that left me literally exhausted in the end – emotionally exhausted, a bit frustrated, and definitely sleep deprived. ![]()
