The Count of Monte Cristo
In her literary column, Luana Bernardes discusses the recent French adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' classic novel "The Count of Monte Cristo," which has returned to the cinema 22 years after a previous film adaptation. Originally published in 1846, this book is one of Bernardes' favorites, telling the story of a man wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. Throughout the over 1,300 pages, readers delve into the protagonist's loneliness and the challenges he faces in prison as he seeks revenge. The novel emphasizes the significance of education in the 19th century, originally published in serial format that left readers eager for more, much like a soap opera. Bernardes highlights a special edition of the book released by Martin Claret, featuring a distinctive red leather cover.
