The Count of Monte CristoAlexander Dumas (adapted by Mitsu Yamamoto)
*****
Edmond Dantes is a young sailor who has just arrived home after a voyage. Mercedes, his girlfriend, is waiting for him to come home. But just as they were to get married, he was false accussed of being a loyal messenger for Napoleon and was sent to the Chateau d'If, an island prison off the coast of Marseilles, France! He rots in prison for 14 years and escapes, emerging as The Count of Monte Cristo, to get revenge on his enemies that put him in prison! My favorite part of the story is when Edmond becomes The Count and everyone obeys him because he has so much money. Jacopo, a former italian smuggler, becomes his companion and now, everyone respects them, and better yet, his enemies have no idea who he is! This is another great classic for readers just beginning to look into good books!
