The name “Montecristo” probably immediately brings to mind The Count of Monte Cristo, the adventure novel by French author Alexandre Dumas that was released in 1844 and is one of the author's most popular and famous works, along with The Three Musketeers.
The story takes place in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean during the historical events of 1815–1839 and centres around a man who is wrongfully imprisoned and later gets revenge.
It is considered an indisputable literary classic today and has been directly adapted to film, television and stage, as well being the inspiration for many similar tales of revenge and is the precursor to a long history of such tales over the years.
