. . . . "The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by French author Alexandre Dumas (Alexandre Dumas p\u00E8re). It is one of the author's most popular works, along with The Three Musketeers. He completed the work in 1844. Like many of his novels, it is expanded from plot outlines suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet. The story takes place in France, Italy, islands in the Mediterranean, and in the Levant during the historical events of 1815\u20131838 (from just before the Hundred Days to the reign of Louis-Philippe of France). The historical setting is a fundamental element of the book. An adventure story primarily concerned with themes of hope, justice, vengeance, mercy and forgiveness, it focuses on a man who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, acquires a fortune and sets about getting revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment. However, his plans have devastating consequences for the innocent as well as the guilty. The book is considered a literary classic today. According to Luc Sante, \"The Count of Monte Cristo has become a fixture of Western civilization's literature, as inescapable and immediately identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noah's flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood.\""@en . . . . . . . .

"Edmond Dant\u00E8s (James Caviezel) and Fernand Mondego (Guy Pearce), childhood friends and sailors employed aboard the French merchant vessel Ferion, make way toward the island of Elba where Napoleon Bonaparte lives in exile, seeking medical attention for their captain, who has fallen into a coma. Acting against the orders of first mate Danglars (Albie Woodington) Dant\u00E8s and Mondego land upon the shores of Elba late at night, and attempt to engage a patrolling squad of English Dragoons in the distance. Mistaken for spies, Mondego and Dant\u00E8s are fired upon and pursued into the hills near the beach. After wounding several of the English soldiers, Mondego and Dant\u00E8s are met by Napoleon (Alex Norton), who declares that the sailors are not his agents. Dant\u00E8s explains the situation and the captain is taken to receive medical attention. Later that night, Napoleon requests that Dant\u00E8s give a letter to a friend in France. When the captain dies that night, they are sent on their way. At Marseilles, Dant\u00E8s is reprimanded by Danglars for disobeying orders. However, the shipping company's boss, Morrell (Patrick Godfrey), commends Dant\u00E8s' bravery, promoting him over Danglars. Mondego intercepts Dant\u00E8s' fianc\u00E9e Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s (Dagmara Dominczyk) and unsuccessfully tries to seduce her. When he hears of Dant\u00E8s' promotion, Mondego realizes that Dant\u00E8s will be able to marry Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s sooner than expected. Mondego gets drunk and tells Danglars about the letter Napoleon gave Dant\u00E8s. Danglars has Dant\u00E8s charged with treason and sent to magistrate J.F. Villefort (James Frain). Villefort is sure of Dant\u00E8s' innocence, but discovers the addressee is Villefort's father, Clarion, a Bonapartist, whom he had denounced to secure a promotion. Villefort burns the letter and fools Dant\u00E8s into submitting to arrest, then attempts to send him to an island prison, Ch\u00E2teau d'If. Dant\u00E8s escapes and goes to Mondego for help, but Mondego turns on him and wounds him so he cannot escape; when Dant\u00E8s asks him why he has betrayed their friendship, Mondego says that he is angry that he wants to be Dant\u00E8s, despite his wealth and superior social position. Dant\u00E8s is re-arrested and successfully imprisoned in the Ch\u00E2teau d'If. Meanwhile, news spreads that Napoleon has escaped from Elba. Mondego, Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s, Morrell, and Dant\u00E8s' father go to Villefort to plead that Dant\u00E8s is innocent, but Villefort rejects their efforts. Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s thanks Mondego for his support; but after she leaves Mondego and Villefort discuss their reasons for wrongfully imprisoning Dant\u00E8s. Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s is later told that Dant\u00E8s has been executed. In prison, Dant\u00E8s befriends Abb\u00E9 Faria (Richard Harris), a priest and former soldier in Napoleon's army. Dant\u00E8s learns Faria was imprisoned because he claimed not to know the location of the deceased Count Spada's fortune. Over the next fifteen years the priest educates the illiterate Dant\u00E8s, teaching him mathematics, literature, philosophy, economics, hand and sword combat and military strategy. He also helps Dant\u00E8s discover why he himself was imprisoned. While escaping, their tunnel caves in, mortally wounding Faria. Before dying, Faria gives Dant\u00E8s the location of Spada's treasure. The priest's death gives Dant\u00E8s another opportunity to escape. When the guards put the priest into a body bag, Dant\u00E8s removes the corpse, hides himself in the bag and is thrown into the sea. Dant\u00E8s washes onto a desert island, where he encounters Luigi Vampa (JB Blanc), a smuggler and thief. Vampa persuades Dant\u00E8s to fight Jacopo (Luis Guzm\u00E1n), a traitor whom they had intended to bury alive. Dant\u00E8s defeats Jacopo but makes a deal with Vampa to let him live; Jacopo vows to serve Dant\u00E8s for the rest of his life. Dant\u00E8s joins the smugglers for three months, leaving when they arrive at Marseilles. Not recognizing him, Morrell tells Dant\u00E8s that his father committed suicide upon learning of his imprisonment and that Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s has married Mondego. Danglars took over Morrell's shipping company after Morrell made him a partner. Dant\u00E8s goes to the island of Monte Cristo, finds Spada's treasure and vows revenge on Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s, Mondego and the other conspirators. Dant\u00E8s becomes the \"Count of Monte Cristo\". He hires Vampa to stage a kidnapping of Mondego's son Albert (Henry Cavill) and then \"rescues\" him, inviting the boy to his residence. In return, Albert invites the count to his sixteenth birthday at the Mondegos' residence. Dant\u00E8s meets with Villefort to discuss a shipment of unspecified property. Mondego meets with Villefort later that evening and mentions that his son heard Monte Cristo use the words gold, shipment, and Spada. They believe the shipment is treasure, and plot to steal it. At the party, Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s is shocked to recognize Dant\u00E8s, with whom she is still in love. Jacopo allows her to hide in Monte Cristo's carriage to speak with him, wanting his master to abandon his obsession with revenge and simply live his life. Dant\u00E8s does not admit to being her former love, but accidentally says 'Edmond Dant\u00E8s'; Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s had never mentioned Edmond's last name. When Danglars and his men arrive to loot the ship where the treasure shipment is supposedly stored, Dant\u00E8s confronts Danglars with the police in tow; Danglars fights Dant\u00E8s, who easily defeats him and reveals his true identity before having Danglars arrested. Later, Dant\u00E8s gets Villefort to confess that he persuaded Mondego to kill Clarion Villeforte in return for telling Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s that Dant\u00E8s was executed. Villefort is charged with conspiracy to murder, and realizes Monte Cristo's true identity before being led off to prison. In the transport, Villefort finds a pistol purposefully left there by Dant\u00E8s; he attempts suicide, but finds that the pistol is not loaded (in a filmed alternate scene available on the DVD, the pistol is loaded and Villefort kills himself). Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s secretly comes to Dant\u00E8s and reveals that she still loves him. Despite his burning desire for revenge, Dant\u00E8s admits that he still loves her, and after they spend the night together he decides to take Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s and her son and leave France. Dant\u00E8s has Mondego's debts called in, bankrupting him and Mondego makes preparations to flee his creditors. Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s confronts Mondego, revealing she is leaving him and Albert is Dant\u00E8s' son; she had only married Mondego and claimed that the boy was born prematurely to cover up his true paternity. Mondego leaves for his family estate, where the stolen gold shipment was to be taken. He finds that all of the chests are filled with dirt and sand, and that one chest contains a chess king that he and Dant\u00E8s passed between each other as a sign of victory, and that Dant\u00E8s has arrived to take his revenge. Albert, who has secretly followed, rushes to defend Mondego, until Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s appears and reveals to Dant\u00E8s and Albert that they are father and son. In the confusion, Mondego pulls out a pistol and aims it at Dant\u00E8s. Dant\u00E8s claims that it will take more than one shot to stop him, and (alluding it would hurt Dant\u00E8s more) Mondego attempts to kill Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s, but only wounds her as Jacopo throws his knife at Mondego, throwing off his aim. Mondego flees, but, realizing that he doesn't want to live in a world where Dant\u00E8s has everything and he has nothing, returns to fight him. They fight a fierce duel, which ends with Dant\u00E8s running Mondego through the heart. Three months later, Dant\u00E8s returns to the Ch\u00E2teau d'If to pay homage to the priest and promises him that he has given up on revenge and will live a better life. He then leaves the island with Merc\u00E9d\u00E8s, Albert and Jacopo."@en . . . "Full Name"@en . . . . . . . . "300"^^ . .
