Alexandre Dumas' classic novel, 'The Count of Monte Cristo,' is a captivating tale of betrayal, revenge, and redemption set in early 19th century France. The story follows Edmond Dantès, a young sailor wrongly accused of treason and imprisoned in the Château d'If. Through a series of events, Dantès escapes and transforms himself into the enigmatic Count of Monte Cristo, seeking vengeance on those who wronged him. Dumas' intricate plot and vivid descriptions make this novel a thrilling historical adventure, filled with twists and turns that keep the reader engaged until the very end. Alexandre Dumas, a prolific writer of the 19th century, drew inspiration for 'The Count of Monte Cristo' from real-life events and historical figures. His talent for storytelling and ability to capture the essence of human emotions and motivations are evident throughout the novel. Dumas' own experiences as a writer and his deep understanding of French society and politics are reflected in the rich tapestry of characters and settings he creates. I highly recommend 'The Count of Monte Cristo' to readers who enjoy classic literature, historical fiction, and suspenseful plots. Dumas' masterpiece is a timeless tale that explores themes of justice, forgiveness, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. This illustrated edition is a must-read for anyone looking for a gripping and thought-provoking literary experience.

Don Celestino is old and bitter and afraid, an impossible man. An anarchist who has been in exile from his native Spain for more than twenty years, he lives with his daughter in Paris, but in his mind he is still fighting the Spanish Civil War. He fulminates against the daily papers; he brags about his past exploits. He has become bigoted, self-important, and obsessed; a bully to his fellow exiles and a tyrant to his daughter, Pascualita. Then a family member dies in Madrid and there is an inheritance to sort out. Pascualita wants to go to Spain, which is supposedly opening up in response to the 1960s, and Don Celestino feels he has no choice but to follow. He is full of dread and desire, foreseeing a heroic last confrontation with his enemies, but what he encounters instead is a new commercialized Spain that has no time for the past, much less for him. Or so it seems. Because the last act of Don Celestino’s dizzying personal drama will prove that though “there is nothing serious . . . , there is tragedy.” An astonishing modern take on Don Quixote, Chaos and Night untangles the ties between politics and paranoia, self-loathing and self-pity, rage and remorse. It is the darkly funny final flowering of the art of Henry de Montherlant, a solitary and scarifying modern master whose work, admired by Graham Greene and Albert Camus, is sure to appeal to contemporary readers of Thomas Bernhard and Roberto Bolaño.

Selected as a Top Ten Book of the Year by The Washington Post: the newly discovered last novel by the author of The Three Musketeers. Rousing, big, spirited, its action sweeping across oceans and continents, its hero gloriously indomitable, the last novel of Alexandre Dumas—lost for 125 years in the archives of the National Library in Paris—completes the oeuvre that Dumas imagined at the outset of his literary career. Indeed, the story of France from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, as Dumas vibrantly retold it in his numerous enormously popular novels, has long been absent one vital, richly historical era: the Age of Napoleon. But no longer. Now, dynamically, in a tale of family honor and undying vengeance, of high adventure and heroic derring-do, The Last Cavalier fills that gap.
