## Description

Review: So much more to this budget friendly edition! - I won't go over the story since I'm sure someone has done that, I will only be reviewing the condition and how it's organized. I am amazed that this was only $4! There seemed to be a couple of cover designs and I received the the blue cover. Arrived in good condition. It's 875 pages, with the language updated to be more current. Though I still want one with the original translation. The paper is actually good quality and text on the next page is not visible. Yes, the print is smaller than you'd expect, but easy to get used to and prob how it's only 875 pages. The best things I've found is an introduction written by Keith Wren from the University of Kent at Canterbury explaining how Dumas wrote the book and any known mistakes he made. Then there is the historical note that goes over the political climate of the day, notable people, societal norms and history, including how religion affected this time period. I highly recommend not skipping these two parts, but saving the introduction until after you finish as it's a summary and discusses character development. In the back there is a footnote section that has names, dates, vernacular of that time, and so much more. It's a window into early 19th century France. This would make a good edition for teachers/students to use as well as those people interested in the actual history so you can really understand what Dumas wanted to convey and how Dantes evolves from a happy go-lucky young man to one who is darker and bent on revenge, even to his own destruction. Buy it, you can't go wrong with this edition. I know I posted a lot of photos, but I know I would've liked to see these when looking at things like this. Enjoy! I have to add that I haven't read this, having just received it, so I cannot answer to any grammar/translation errors.
Review: Excellent story - This was one of the best stories I have read and wanted a copy for my library. The quality of this paperback book is excellent.
