The novel, set during the Bourbon Restoration in France, follows Edmond Dantès, a young sailor falsely accused of treason and imprisoned in the Château d'If.

With the help of fellow prisoner Abbé Faria, Dantès learns various subjects and discovers the location of a hidden treasure on the island of Monte Cristo.

After escaping and finding the treasure, Dantès disguises himself as the wealthy and mysterious Count of Monte Cristo to exact revenge on those responsible for his imprisonment.

The story explores themes of justice, revenge, redemption, and the corrupt financial, political, and judicial world of 19th-century France.
