About This Book

The narrative resumes the fortunes of Edmond Dantès, portraying a storm and shipwreck that isolates key figures before tracing his return to public life as a deputy from Marseille and his involvement in the French Revolution of 1848. Dramatic action, political intrigue, and intimate relationships intertwine as family secrets, romances, and rivalries surface and children and heirs complicate loyalties. Public upheaval, midnight conclaves, and provisional government maneuverings sit alongside clandestine schemes and personal reckonings. Scenes shift between vivid set pieces—wrecks, fêtes, trials—and quieter investigations and revelations, balancing themes of vengeance, philanthropy, love, and political ambition across a wide cast of allies and adversaries.

FOOTNOTES:

[1] The exceedingly romantic history of Madame de Rancogne will be found in that fascinating and absorbing novel, "The Countess of Monte-Cristo," published by Messrs. T. B. Peterson & Brothers, a wonderful book that everybody should read.

[2] A full account, from this point, of the life and remarkable career of "Zuleika, the Daughter of Monte-Cristo," will be found in the brilliant, original, and absorbing novel just published by T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Philadelphia, in uniform style with "Edmond Dantès," entitled "Monte-Cristo's Daughter," being the Sequel to Alexander Dumas' famous novel, "The Count of Monte-Cristo," and Conclusion of "Edmond Dantès." "Monte-Cristo's Daughter" will be found to be of unflagging interest, abounding in ardent love scenes and stirring adventures, while the Count of Monte-Cristo figures largely in it, and many of the original Monte-Cristo characters are also introduced into the volume, making it in point of brilliancy, power, and absorbing interest fully equal to its famous predecessors.

 

THE END.
