One of the grandest tales of adventure, Alexandre Dumas’s epic novel of revenge, perseverance, lost love, and self-invention—now a PBS Masterpiece miniseries starring Sam Claflin and Jeremy Irons “My desert island book . . . No matter how many times I revisit it, I find new lines to appreciate, new narrative corners to explore.”—V. E. Schwab, The New York Times Book Review Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of the Château d’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 use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Robin Buss’s lively translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas’s original. This edition includes an introduction, chronology, explanatory notes, and suggestions for further reading. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. Review: Good Reading - ペーバーバックとは言え1300ページ近い分厚い読み応えのある本です。 あらすじは映画でも見て知っているのですが、ストーリー展開にどんどん引き込まれ時間の経つのを忘れます。 又、映画ではカットされている部分も全て分かるので、楽しんでいます。 Review: Possibly the best book ever. - This has to be one of the greatest novels of all times. It was almost ten years ago when I first heard of this book. Everyone around me told me that I should read this book, but back then, I was intimidated by the volume of this novel that I actually put off reading it until two years ago. I first read it in Japanese and the series that I read was seven parts long. It took me three weeks to read it. And recently I decided to take the journey again by reading it in English. This book was brilliant. Right from the start, you are familiarized with the historical events of that time and you are drawn into the story with a magical touch. Then, next thing you know, Edmond Dante’s is arrested for treason and is sent to the darkest prison in the middle of nowhere. His so-called friends set him up. And this day forward, his battle for justice and revenge begins. The book is full of emotions. The moment you start reading it, you become the character and you and Dante’s together, will set out on a long journey of revenge. This is more than a five star book. Words can’t express how good this book is. It’s a must-read.

デュマの遠大な構想力。読後の充足感は他に類をみない。
1243ページの超大作。読むのに時間がかかったが、でも、長すぎると思ったことは一度もなかった。次から次へと展開するストーリーに常にわくわくさせられた。読後の充足感はとても高い。長く時間をかけて読んだ物語であるだけに、読後の余韻はなかなか消えない。 この本、今朝日新聞に連載されている筒井康隆の読書歴のなかで彼が少年期に読みふけった一冊として紹介されているが、同様の体験を有する識者・文化人の数は多い。だから、50代になった自分としても、遅まきながら、一度は読んでみたいと思っていた。読んでよかった。デュマの遠大な構想力には恐れ入った。ついでながら、19世紀のヨーロッパ社会はこんなだったのかと垣間見ることが出来たのも良かった。 なお、自分は当初岩波文庫で読み始めた(岩波の翻訳は良いと思う)のだが、本屋(と言うか、ブックオフ)で全巻揃えて購入するのは結構大変だったので、注文してこのPenguin Classicsの英語版で読むことにした。それに、値段的にも岩波文庫全巻を揃えるよりも安上がりになる。ただ、この一冊は重くて嵩張るので通勤電車の中や旅行時の携帯には難があった。なお、Worsworth Classicsからもこの本が出版されているが、どうやらそれは抄訳であり、訳もPenguinの方が読みやすいとの評である。

翻訳の差と刺激的な内容
モンテクリスト伯をペーパーバックで、読むまえに、村上春樹さんの1000ページ以上ある1Q84の英文で書かれた本や、カフカの海辺などを読みました。日本人が日本語から英語に訳したものと、英語ネイティブがフランス語から英語に訳したものとでは、読解の難度が違います。語彙とか、表現の仕方とか、ネイティブにしか自然にできないことがあり、よほど、ライティングの技術かなければ、ネイティブに近づけないと感じました。 日本人が英文に英訳するライティングには、限度があると感じました。 本書の内容は、個人の持っていり感情が鮮明に描かれ、感情に流されて、悪の行為をする様子がきめ細やかに描かれています。 読んでいて、刺激的で、読み飽きません。 お勧めしたい書籍です。こちらも1200ページあります。

Excellent book
Red this when I was 15-16 years old. Bought this for my granddaughter. Hope she will like it too. I watched French, Italian, Russian, and US movies The Count of Monte Cristo. Do you know that Alexandre Dumas wrote 400 or 500 books and novels? There is no person in the world who managed to read all of Dumas' books. If my granddaughter likes it, the next will The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, Ten Years After, The Man in the Iron Mask, Queen Magot, Black Tulip, The forty-five guardsmen.
I**!
Capolavoro, ma e' veramente la famosa versione non censurata? ho qualche dubbio.
Ovviamente come sappiamo e' un capolavoro. Sebbene dubito che sia veramente una versione integrale e senza censure, in quanto avevo sentito parlare di temi clerici censurati che non ho veramente visto. Ma non essendo sicuro lascio 5 stelle.
