description: Abridged Edition. Young Edmond Dantes has it all--a promising career, good health, and the love of the beautiful Mercedes. Unfortunately, there are those who envy his good fortune enough to ruin him forever. Their machinations lead to his imprisonment in the Chateau d'If for seventeen years. Through all those years, Dantes cherishes one hope--to escape from prison and take his revenge on those who put him there. After a harrowing escape, Dantes begins his plan...but his revenge may mean suffering for those as innocent as he once was.
