“And when you get out of prison and you are called Edmond Dantès, you take revenge.”

The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favourite books. Alexandre Dumas' story of revenge is wonderfully woven. Made into a superb new film a few years ago, starting tonight that film is serialised on the BBC. Recommended.
