Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Edmond Dantès" by Edmund Flagg is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a sequel to the famous "The Count of Monte-Cristo" by Alexander Dumas, continuing the saga of its titular character, Edmond Dantès. The sequel follows Dantès as he navigates tumultuous times during the French Revolution of 1848, highlighting themes of love, redemption, and political upheaval. At the start of "Edmond Dantès," the reader is thrust back into the dramatic life of the Count, who is now accompanied by his beloved Haydée. Their idyllic voyage on a yacht takes a harrowing turn as they prepare for a marriage proposal amidst ominous weather conditions and a violent storm. A sudden shipwreck forces Dantès and his companions to confront new adversities, revealing a lurking threat that will haunt them. As they struggle against natural forces, the stage is set for an exciting narrative filled with passion, danger, and the shadows of Dantès' vengeful past. The opening suggests that this sequel will weave together personal stakes with grand historical events, promising a compelling read for those familiar with Dumas' original tale.
