This = long. But it's a long book. The spoiler-free short version: The Count of Monte Cristo is an extraordinary, long, complex (as in, takes a large chart to keep relationships straight) work with a very simple story idea: a young man is horribly wronged, emerges from prison with a new life and ...

Louise de la Valliere is the middle section of The Vicomte de Bragelonne, or, Ten Years After. Against a tender love story, Dumas continues the suspense which began with The Vicomte de Bragelonne and will end with The Man in the Iron Mask. Set during the reign of Louis XIV and filled with behind-...
Nagyon érdekes és izgalmas darab. Ugyanakkor valahol nagyon fura is. Szegény Monte Cristo teljesen el van szállva - mégis, vagy talán pont ezért, igazán lebilincselő, ahogy kibontakoznak körülötte, vagy inkább ő kibontakoztatja maga körül az eseményeket. Aztán bosszúálló démonból egy-egy szóra ké...
الشيء الغريب في الروايه .. ان عدد صفحاتها باللغه الانجلزيه ٦٢٤ صفحه بينما باللغه العربيه فقط ١٤٤ صفحه الا ان كل صفحه كانت بمثابه مئه صفحه من سرعه تسلسل الاحداث وعدم الاسهاب بتفصيلها فقط بايجاز شرح الموقف.. مع ذلك الكاتب كان ذكي والمترجم اذكى منه يصف الموقف وكانك موجود معهم روايه تتكلم عن الثوره ...
Alexandre Dumas est connu pour son roman Le Comte de Monte-Cristo, ou encore sa célèbre trilogie mettant en scène les mousquetaires. Cependant, il est également l'auteur d'une fresque historique retraçant la fin du règne de Louis XV jusqu'à la Révolution française avec la mort de Louis XVI. Cet...
Disappointing. I love Dumas but this long novel has few of the things I love about him. The characters kind of come and go, are there for a few chapters and then never appear again. It's almost impossible to follow the action, unless you are very familiar with one of the most confusing periods of...
Ce dernier tome du cycle des Mémoires d'un Médecin sert de conclusion à la saga. C'est la fin du règne de Louis XVI et le début de la république. C'est aussi dans ce livre que l'on apprend le destin tragique de beaucoup des personnages du livre.La Comtesse de Charny est beaucoup plus dans l'his...

Man, nobody (at least not that I’ve read) writes court intrigue like Dumas. So many twists and turns, and although you’re reasonably confident about who’s backstabbing whom at any given time, you’re never sure who’s actually going to come out on top. Up to a point, of course. Henri de Navarre did...
D'Artagnan comes to Paris to join the King's Musketeers and soon finds himself caught up in high adventure and intrigue at the Royal Court.
Now, who was that someone? That was the question the three Musketeers put to one another. Then, seeing that none of their replies could throw any light on the subject, Porthos called the host and asked for dice. Porthos and Aramis placed themselves at the table and began to play. Athos walked abo...
In this manner D'Artagnan learned every morning what he had not been able either to see or to ascertain the night before, from the simple fact of his not being ubiquitous; so that, with the information he had been able by his own means to pick up during the day, and with what he had gathered from...
Baptistin had not had any difficulty in recognizing him. He was the tall young man, with blond hair and a reddish beard and black eyes, whose rosy colouring and fine white skin had been described to him by his master. When the count entered the room, the young man was stretched out on a sofa, idl...
