Pier Angelo Fiorentino Books

    Pier Angelo Fiorentino was a playwright, journalist, poet, and translator who engaged with political life during the Risorgimento. He distinguished himself as a music and theater critic for major French newspapers, and his translation of Dante's Divine Comedy into French is a notable work. Though he collaborated with Alexandre Dumas, his own authorship was mistakenly attributed to Dumas, leading to erroneous beliefs about his contribution to certain famous works.

      Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read A popular bestseller since its publication in 1844, The Count of Monte Cristo is one of the great page-turning thrillers of all time. Set against the tumultuous years of the post-Napoleonic era, Alexandre Dumas’s grand historical romance recounts the swashbuckling adventures of Edmond Dantès, a dashing young sailor falsely accused of treason. The story of his long imprisonment, dramatic escape, and carefully wrought revenge offers up a vision of France that has become immortal. As Robert Louis Stevenson declared, “I do not believe there is another volume extant where you can breathe the same unmingled atmosphere of romance.”
