The Count of Monte Cristo in the original French,
By John Dewar (Potsdam, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: COMTE DE MONTE-CRISTO T01 (LE) (Mass Market Paperback)
Twenty-five years ago, I was in freshman college French class, and could read plays and short stories by the great French authors. A recent visit by a French exchange student showed me how much I'd forgotten, so I decided to try reading French again. This great tale by Alexandre Dumas was the perfect way to start: it's the familiar story of false imprisonment and exceedingly complex revenge in the early 19th century. This is the unabridged version with each of 2 volumes running to 750 pages, so it became my bedtime companion for months. Dumas is a wonderful story-teller, almost always amusing or exciting. It's light reading; my old vocabulary wouldn't have been up to metaphors or symbolism. The only draw-back is a lack of footnotes: much of the action takes place in Italy and the text is sprinkled with some Italian terms that I couldn't translate. The Oxford English translations of Dumas' works offer little tidbits of historical and geographic information that are very helpful in understanding context; none of that is available here. Overall though, I heartily recommend this edition for the reader who wants to wade into the original works of a great French novelist.

Comment claquer une fortune à des fins de vengeance,
By
This review is from: COMTE DE MONTE-CRISTO T01 (LE) (Mass Market Paperback)
Un classique de la littérature française, rédigé dans un style fortement romancé.
Ce roman plaira particulièrement aux amateurs de fiction historique. Le récit est imbriqué dans les événements politiques du début du 19e siècle, et les interactions entre les personnages nous font découvrir de nombreuses facettes de la société française de cette époque. Ceci dit, l'auteur n'avait certainement pas l'intention d'en faire une oeuvre historique puisque l'action se déroule essentiellement dans la décennie précédant celle où Dumas a écrit ce roman (en fait l'histoire débute vers 1815, et se développe ensuite vers les années 1830), ce qui rend ce portrait romancé de la société européenne de cette période encore plus crédible et intéressant. NOTE: Cette édition "Folio" du Comte de Monte Cristo est en langue française malgré la langue utilisée pour certains des commentaires laissés sur ce site, et a été divisée en deux tomes. Le récit lui-même n'est pas divisé en tomes, l'éditeur l'a tout simplement scindé en deux livres de 700 pages (sans compter les notes) et ces tomes sont vendus séparément.

Un livre tout à fait remarquable!,
This review is from: COMTE DE MONTE-CRISTO -LE (Mass Market Paperback)
Cette édition du célèbre roman de Alexandre Sumas est fantastique. J'ai relu ce roman avec la même passion qu'il y a trente ans lorsque j,étais au collège. Le format souple des pages aide vraiment à cette longue lecture et vous donne envie de poursuivre l'oeuvre avec d'autres romans
