One of the grandest tales of adventure, Alexandre Dumas’s epic novel of revenge, perseverance, lost love, and self-invention—now a PBS Masterpiece miniseries starring Sam Claflin and Jeremy Irons “My desert island book . . . No matter how many times I revisit it, I find new lines to appreciate, new narrative corners to explore.”—V. E. Schwab, The New York Times Book Review Thrown in prison for a crime he has not committed, Edmond Dantès is confined to the grim fortress of the Château d’If. There he learns of a great hoard of treasure hidden on the Isle of Monte Cristo and he becomes determined not only to escape, but also to use the treasure to plot the destruction of the three men responsible for his incarceration. Robin Buss’s lively translation is complete and unabridged, and remains faithful to the style of Dumas’s original. This edition includes an introduction, chronology, explanatory notes, and suggestions for further reading. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. Review: MASTERPIECE - THE BEST NOVEL I'VE EVER READ.... The story was so good that I finished half the book in 2 days..... Absolute page turner.... Go for it.....

The book arrived in perfect condition, despite being such a thick paperback the edges were intact, the spine was not broken.Its a original copy (not a first copy like I was dreading).

Poor packaging
Thankfully, I received the book in relatively good condition, although the packaging could've been a lot better. The pages are good, print quality is fine too but corner is a bit damaged cause of the poor packaging. Amazon could've put more effort into packaging but they just put it in a brown envelope and sent it. Books are fragile; pages, cover and spine could be easily damaged while transportation so putting a bubble wrap on it, transporting it in a box shouldn't be that difficult. I've had better expectations from you amazon.

Finally got my hands on it
The book was well packaged and came in very good condition. But it is a massive book, so you have be extra careful or you risk damaging the spine of the book. Paper quality and printing is good considering the price and how much they had to pack in

Quality of product is not satisfactory. Seemed like getting a 2nd hand book, with a clean page.
The packaging quality is soo poor sadly. Literally we paid fair enough to deserve a neet and clean product, without carving corners, hazzed printing in the cover.
