This month’s book has us tackling another literary classic: Alexandre Dumas’ The Count of Monte Cristo
Here’s the summary:
Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to unearth the treasure and use it to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Dumas’ epic tale of suffering and retribution, inspired by a real-life case of wrongful imprisonment, was a huge popular success when it was first serialized in the 1840s
This is the longest book we’ve ever covered on Book Club, so we suggest you get reading right away!
The live-streamed discussion of The Count of Monte Cristo will occur Friday, August 4th at 9:30 PM Central Time over on our YouTube page. We’ll see you there!
