책소개

Having escaped from prison, Dantès claims the treasure on the island of Monte Cristo. Now wealthy beyond imagination, he begins to weave new identities and gather information. As “Sinbad the Sailor,” he quietly aids old allies like Morrel while planning vengeance against those who betrayed him. In Italy, he mingles with aristocrats and criminals, sharpening his skills and perfecting his disguise. He encounters Roman bandits, navigates secret gatherings, and gains new allies. The seeds of revenge are planted in shadow, unnoticed by his enemies. He prepares to return to Paris, not as Edmond Dantès, but as someone far more formidable. The hunter is now ready to confront his past.

저자(글) Auguste Maquet

Auguste Maquet (1813–1888) was a French novelist and playwright, best known as the principal collaborator of Alexandre Dumas. He played a crucial role in crafting the plots and drafts of Dumas' famous works, such as The Three Musketeers and The Man in the Iron Mask. Though regarded as a masterful storyteller, his name often remained in the shadow of Dumas. Born in Paris, Maquet had a deep passion for literature and history from an early age, which vividly shines through in his writing. He skillfully blended historical facts with fiction to create gripping narratives. While most final publications carried only Dumas' name, Maquet's contributions were essential to their success. In his later years, he published numerous historical novels and plays independently, establishing himself as a distinctive writer. His work significantly influenced the development of French historical fiction and continues to be appreciated today.
