The Count of Monte Cristo is the original blockbuster. The Folio Society has produced a stunning limited edition of this Dumas masterpiece, bound in full goatskin leather, with gilded top and illustrated by Russian artist Roman Pisarev.

For this limited edition, Pisarev has produced, in addition to the twenty-four illustrations which appear in the main text, a special etching which is individually signed and numbered by the artist.

The edition also features an introduction by the late Sir John Mortimer, who grappled with questions of justice and retribution in his twin careers of barrister and author, and found in the Dumas of The Count of Monte Cristo not only an enthralling storyteller, but a man who understood with subtlety and humanity the morally vexed question of revenge.

There are only 500 copies of this limited edition available.

The Folio Society produces beautifully crafted collector’s editions of the world’s greatest books, each with unique illustrations or specially researched photographs throughout. Find books you love at foliosociety.com
