The Count of Monte Cristo

Un marin innocent est enfermé quatorze ans. Il en sort avec une fortune, un nouveau nom et une liste.

Extrait

On the 24th of February, 1815, the look-out at Notre-Dame de la Garde signalled the three-master, the _Pharaon_ from Smyrna, Trieste, and Naples. As usual, a pilot put off immediately, and rounding the Château d’If, got on board the vessel between Cape Morgiou and Rion island. Immediately, and according to custom, the ramparts of Fort Saint-Jean were covered with spectators; it is always an event at Marseilles for a ship to come into port, especially when this ship, like the Pharaon , has been built, rigged, and laden at the old Phocée docks, and belongs to an owner of the city.
