Novel: The Count of Monte Cristo

I am currently reading The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I've only met a few of the characters who will populate the text with Edmond Dante, being the central character. At this point in my reading he's young, honest, gallant, naive, loyal. He loves a beautiful woman and has been selected to captain a merchant ship. However, at his betrothal party he is arrested and subsequently thrown into the worst prison imaginable Chateau D'lf for a crime he did not commit, framed by a jealous trio and imprisoned by a crown prosecutor who advances his political career on the back on this innocent man.

Stay tuned for another installment of this wonderful tale.
