    Abridged

    Alexandre Dumas

    With an Afterword by Marcus Clapham


    This classic adventure, set in nineteenth-century France and Italy, tells the story of Edmund Dants, a young man falsely imprisoned who eventually finds himself in a position of power and able to seek his revenge against those who plotted against him. Eventually he begins to question his obsessive search for revenge.


    The Collector’s Library restores traditional visual and tactile pleasures to the joy of reading.

    Each book is designed to appeal to the book-lover; in every case the type is re-set, illustrations, where appropriate, are selected from sources as close to the period of the book as possible, and the books are printed on high-quality paper, section-sewn and bound in real cloth. Each book has endpapers, a satin ribbon marker, head and tailbands and gilt edges. They represent the marriage of great literature to high aesthetic and craft standards, using the technology of the 21st century to produce something classic and at the same time unmistakeably modern.


    Their handy size means that they can be slipped into the pocket, handbag or briefcase, and their robust manufacture makes them ideal travelling companions as well as comfortable bedside reads at very affordable prices.


    ‘I cannot imagine a more heavenly present; they are so beautifully produced and illustrated.’

    Jilly Cooper, novelist


    ‘It is delicious to see gilt edges again. ... They are far more pocket-sized than any paperback.’

    Joanna Trollope, novelist
