| rdfs:comment | - The Count of Monte Cristo is a clever multi-disciplined novel written by Alexandre Dumas. Why so is that he also wrote the Three Musketeers and so there is some mathematics other than literature skills involved. The long and complex plot involves some algebraic calculations. Since their tagline is "All for One and One For All" the reader has to expect a lot of solidarity among the weaker sex. This particular novel has also violent material as well as sporadic adultery that has become the template for Hollywood centuries later. It is also set in very romantic times where feudalism has created Prince Charmings and damsels in duress.

It is primarily concerned with themes of justice, vengeance, mercy, and forgiveness, and is told in the style of an adventure story. Dumas got the idea for The Count of Monte Cristo from a true story, which he found in a memoir written by a man named Jacques Peuchet. Peuchet related the story of a shoemaker named Pierre Picaud, who was living in Paris in 1807. Picaud was engaged to marry a rich woman, but four jealous friends falsely accused him of being a spy for England. He was imprisoned for seven years. During his imprisonment a dying fellow prisoner bequeathed him a treasure hidden in Milan. When Picaud was released in 1814, he took possession of the treasure, returned under another name to Paris and spent ten years plotting his successful revenge against his former friends.
