THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO Imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, Edmond Dantès spends fourteen bitter years in a dungeon. When his daring escape plan works he uses all he has learnt during his incarceration to mastermind an elaborate plan of revenge that will bring punishment to those he holds responsible for his fate. No longer the naïve sailor who disappeared into the dark fortress all those years ago, he reinvents himself as the charming, mysterious and powerful Count of Monte Cristo... LES MISERABLES Sensational, dramatic, packed with rich excitement and filled with the sweep and violence of human passions, Les Misérables is one of the greatest adventure stories ever told. It is a novel peopled by colourful characters from the nineteenth-century Parisian underworld; the street children, the prostitutes and the criminals. In telling the story of escaped convict Jean Valjean, and his efforts to reform his ways and care for the little orphan girl he rescues from a life of cruelty, Victor Hugo drew attention to the plight of the poor and oppressed. Les Miserables is a masterful detective story, a comic and tragic story of romance and revolution and, ultimately, a tale of redemption and hope.

Prison breaks, thwarted love affairs, buried treasure—"The Count of Monte Cristo" has it all. If you love Dumas' "The Three Musketeers", this is your next must-read adventure. In Volume I, we meet Frenchman Edmond Dantes. His future looks bright: a new job as a ship’s captain and marriage to the beautiful Mercedes. But a trio of jealous men are plotting his downfall. And on the day of his wedding, they have him arrested on false charges of treason. Locked away on an island prison in the Mediterranean Sea, all hope seems lost. But Edmond never gives up his dreams of escape and exacting his revenge. Hugely popular in its day, "The Count of Monte Cristo" is still a page-turner. No wonder it’s been made into dozens of movies, including a 2002 version starring Guy Pearce. Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) was a hugely popular 19th Century French writer. Born of mixed French and Haitian heritage, Dumas first rose to prominence in Paris as a playwright, but later gained international fame with his historical fiction. Often co-authored with other writers, these stories wove together swashbuckling adventure, romance, and real events from France’s past. Among the best known are "The Three Musketeers", and its sequels "Twenty Years After", and "Le Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later". Set across four decades, this trilogy follows the rise of the dashing D’Artagnan—from hot-headed soldier to trusted captain under Louis XIV. Dumas’ other novels include "The Count of Monte Cristo" and "The Black Tulip". His works have been adapted into more than 200 movies, including The Man in the Iron Mask starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great literary adventures, indeed William Thackeray was so enthralled he began reading 'at six one morning and never stopped till eleven at night'.The hero is Edmond Dantes, a young sailor who, falsely accused of treason, is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of Chateau d'If. After staging a dramatic escape he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies. A novel ofenormous tension and excitement, Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge, with Dantes, believing himself to be an 'Angel of Providence', pursuing his vengeance to the bitter end before realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.This new edition uses the classic, anonymous translation that has been in print since the nineteenth century.

“The Count of Monte Cristo has become a fixture of Western Civilization’s literature, as inescapable and immediately identifiable as Micky Mouse, Noah’s flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood.” -Luc Sante “A piece of perfect storytelling.”-Robert Louis Stevenson With Alexandre Dumas’s epic novel of intrigue and adventure, The Count of Monte Cristo has thrilled readers for centuries with its sweeping themes of alienation, love, and revenge. With its intricate plot and evocative settings in France and the Mediterranean, this book is one of the most beloved classics ever written. In this quintessential tale of vengeance set in the Napoleonic era, Edmond Dantès, a young French sailor, is engaged to marry Mercédès, a young and beautiful Catalan woman. In a terrible act of jealously, three men betray Edmond, and he is wrongfully convicted of treason. He is sent to the infamous Château d'If, one of the most feared prisons of France. After a daring escape from imprisonment, Dantès hunts in search of a treasure that he has learned of from a fellow inmate. Once in possession of his vast fortune, he returns to Paris as the mysterious Count of Monte Cristo to wreck revenge on the three men who have betrayed him. Dumas’s tale simmers with intrigue and excitement and remains one of the great classics of our time. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Count of Monte Cristo is both modern and readable.

Q: What the heck is "THE SUPER REMIXED (tm) COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO"?A: It's Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo," the famed and perpetually popular epic saga of revenge, intrigue, and redemption! Except now it has been SUPER REMIXED (tm) by me, Hans. That's self--explanatory, peeps! FOUR Great Reasons to Dive In:1) If you've never read "The Count of Monte Cristo," and don't know what awaits, then you're just a lucky critter, because you're about to jump into one of the most timeless, powerful, thrilling, immersive novels of all time, except now it has 27% more baguette jokes. I wish I could be you!!!2) If you HAVE read it, then here's your chance to experience it entirely anew in a SUPER REMIXED (tm) version that nonetheless hopes to retain everything that made you fall in love the first time.3) If you started to read it at some point and somehow your eyes glazed over when you saw the cast of characters was 10 pages long... I getcha! The times have a--changed! This is speedy, accessible and with 1/3rd the literary calories. 4) If you started to read it and somehow your eyes glazed over and you were like: "Forget it, I'll Netflix the movie" and now you think you know the plot...YOU KNOW NOTHING, JEAN NEIGE. No wimpy 2--hour movie can do justice to the tangled web the Count weaves. None of the versions even try: they keep the premise, a couple of early scenes, and then abandon the plot altogether. Except that one anime where the Count was a psychedelic elven alien. That one was EXACTLY what Dumas envisioned.

Fire from the Sun is a novel in three volumes, covering a very broad canvas. It follows the lives of two people, an opera singer and a mathematician, yoked together by fate from childhood to early middle age. Both are Chinese (though the opera is Italian), and the background of the novel is recent Chinese history, from the Great Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s to the 1989 student movement and its aftermath. The action ranges all over China, from the lush valleys of the southwest to the frozen plains of Manchuria, from elite apartments in Beijing to the garrison settlements of occupied Tibet, from the easygoing corruption of 1970s Hong Kong to the wakening bustle of post-Cultural-Revolution Shanghai. It moves on to the boardrooms of Wall Street, the wealthy enclaves of Fifth Avenue and Long Island’s East End, and the international opera circuit. The two principals, William Leung (born 1957) and Margaret Han (born 1958), are childhood friends in southwest China before the Cultural Revolution. That upheaval tears them apart. Margaret´s family is instrumental in the destruction of William´s, and William is taken to the far northeast to live in poverty and disgrace. The two then pursue separate paths. William, through much hardship and desperation, rises to eventual success on Wall Street. He uses his great wealth to take revenge on Margaret. Margaret, whose father is a senior officer in the Chinese army, grows up in a more sheltered background, eventually making a career as a singer of Italian opera. The two meet again as adults in New York City and are at first drawn together; but the bitterness of the past, and the wrongs they have suffered at each other´s hands, drives them apart again. This cycle of attraction and repulsion is repeated; then they come together in a final, but tragic, reconciliation. Aside from the fates of the two principals, which of course form the book´s main subject matter, two lesser themes are developed. First, there is recent Chinese history, and the nature and direction of the modern Chinese state. Second is Margaret´s career as an opera singer, which is described in detail. Margaret achieves fame as a singer of the bel canto style of Italian opera, and most especially as an interpreter of Vincenzo Bellini (1801-1835), who can be heard moving about behind the scenery at several points in the narrative. The book closes with Margaret singing Bellini´s greatest role, Norma, in the opera of that name. A sub-theme here is Margaret´s slow spiritual awakening, via her singing, her relationship with William, and her experiences in the "June 4th movement" at Tian An Men Square. Though the book´s principal characters and their activities are entirely fictional, the underlying chronology is based on real events. Not only the political upheavals of recent Chinese history, but the Wall Street boom of the 1980s and the fates of Michael Milken and Drexel Burnham Lambert are used to drive the plot. Some minor characters are based, more or less approximately, on actual personalities from the worlds of opera, business, politics and popular culture; and a few real people (Bruce Lee, Richard Nixon, H.R.H. the Prince of Wales) have walk-on parts. The book is written as a straightforward third-person narrative in 76 chapters. The tone and presentation of the story are strongly influenced by the author’s interest in classic Chinese novels and poetry...

An extraordinary modern novel in the Victorian tradition, Charles Palliser has created something extraordinary—a plot within a plot within a plot of family secrets, mysterious clues, low-born birth, high-reaching immorality, and, always, always the fog-enshrouded, enigmatic character of 19th century—London itself. “So compulsively absorbing that reality disappears . . . One is swept along by those enduring emotions that defy modern art and a random universe: hunger for revenge, longing for justice and the fantasy secretly entertained by most people that the bad will be punished and the good rewarded.”—The New York Times “A virtuoso achievement . . . It is an epic, a tour de force, a staggeringly complex and tantalizingly layered tale that will keep readers engrossed in days. . . . The Quincunx will not disappoint you. It is, quite simply, superb.”—Chicago Sun-Times “A bold and vivid tale that invites the reader to get lost in the intoxicating rhythms of another world. And the invitation is irresistible.”—San Francisco Chronicle “A remarkable book . . . In mood, color, atmosphere and characters, this is Charles Dickens reincarnated . . . It is an immersing experience.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review “To read the first pages is to be trapped for seven-hundred odd more: you cannot stop turning them.”—The New Yorker “Few books, at most a dozen or two in a lifetime, affect us this way. . . . For sheer intricacy and ingenuity, for skill and clarity of storytelling, it is the kind of book readers wait for, a book to get lost in.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
