The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas)
Why it’s on the list: Dumas’s revenge epic: Edmond Dantès is imprisoned on a false denunciation, escapes with a fortune, and spends the rest of the novel engineering the ruin of the men who put him there.
Where I saw it: A reply to @moseskagan’s question on X, April 13, 2025 — “What historical fiction should I read next?” — recovered from that thread and saved to Kyle’s Apple Note “Books To Read”. Thread: https://x.com/moseskagan/status/1911280597928231261
Filed under a disambiguated title because wiki/concepts/The Count of Monte Cristo.md already owns the short form; the bare name is deliberately NOT an alias here.
